Lot 873
Persian Sword Blade. Ancient Persia. Out of the misty halls of unknown kings, this impressively large and stylish blade has survived to this day. Of the traditional leaf shape seen on most of the Luristan and post-Luristan era weaponry, the blade exhibits swelling, rounded shoulders and tapers to a narrow point. The tip is slightly thickened for strength with reinforcing midrib and blood channels along the rest of the length. The short Tanganyika would have set into a separately attached handle. Blade length: 19 ¼". With attractive green patina. Blade in quite fine condition. This sizable artifact comes with custom Lucite mount for wall display.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
