This is an Early Dynastic Arrowhead, First Dynasty: 3100 - 2890 B.C. A carefully worked leaf-shaped arrowhead. Provenance: ex- Arthur Halcrow Versage Collection, Reigate, Surrey. The artefact is in very fine condition and measures 42mm x 16mm.
Finely crafted stone arrowheads were mass produced in the First Dynasty royal workshops. After more than 3000 years of use, the skill needed to make these carefully flaked stone arrowheads was beginning to die out. The early Kings showed respect for the ancestors by preserving this ancient tradition.
Price: £35.00
