Ancient Bronze Sword Dagger Holy Land Bronze Age 1500 -1200 B.C.

This fascinating artifact is an ancient Canaanite bronze dagger blade, estimated to date back to the Bronze Age, specifically around 1500-1200 BC, which coincides with the time of Moses. The blade was crafted using casting and hand-forging techniques to create a double-edged tapering blade with a striking medial ridge. The short tang at the base of the blade was likely used to attach a handle, giving the wielder greater control over the weapon. 
This piece offers a glimpse into the skilled craftsmanship and advanced metallurgy of the Canaanite people during this period.
