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

This remarkable artifact is an ancient bronze short sword or dagger blade, originating from the Holy Land during the Bronze Age (1500-1200 B.C.). The blade boasts a tapering double-edged design with a medial ridge, which would have made it an incredibly effective weapon in battle. The short tang attached to the handle makes it easy to wield and maneuver, allowing its user to strike with precision and agility. 
It's fascinating to think that this weapon existed during the time of Moses and may have played a role in the battles and conflicts of that era.
MEASUREMENTS: Overall length: 16.3 cm (6.42inches)
CONDITION: In excavated conditions, the tip is broken, as is common in combat bronze blades. No cracks or repairs. The surface is covered by its natural green patina and earth encrustation.
PROVENANCE: Ex-private old Canadian collection of antiques and antiquities formed in the 1980s.
The significant demand for ancient bronzes, particularly bronze weapons, has led to the emergence of many reproductions in the American and European antiquities markets. These reproductions include swords, daggers, maces, axes, and arrowheads.
In many cases, these objects are well-made and professionally aged, showing signs of damage, patina, and being covered with earthen deposits to simulate an old appearance. As a result, they can appear indistinguishable from authentic ancient artifacts to inexperienced collectors. However, it is important to note that these reproductions have no historical or investment value.
