Lost Wax Cast Bronze Arrowhead 6.5 cm

Lost Wax Cast Bronze Arrowhead 6.5 cm

This bronze arrowhead reflects the precision and practicality of Iron Age archery. It dates from between the 8th and 5th centuries BC. It features a finely shaped blade, a reinforcing central ridge, and an elongated shank with a subtle ring near the base—a detail found in archaeological examples from Greece to the Black Sea region.

Forged by lost-wax casting, this 6.5 cm replica exemplifies early technological skill in projectile design. The tang allowed archers to attach it securely to wooden shafts with glue or sinew, a method used long before socketed heads became common.

Although not intended for use in modern archery, this piece is ideal for museum displays, historical education, or any collection honoring the weaponry of the ancient world.
