A Luristan penannular bronze bangle formed from one continuous rod of metal. The bangle has been decorated with panels of V-shaped incised lines, separated with vertical lines, near the flat terminals, as well as with an incised cross-hatched pattern on the opposite section. A green patina and earthly encrustations to the surface, sometimes obscuring the engraved pattern. Signs of wear as consistent with its age, such as a wearing down of the incisions.

Luristan bronze comes from the province of Lorestan, renowned in antiquity for its sophisticated metal working techniques. Due to the nomadic nature of the populations that settled in the area, none of the Luristan bronzes were of great size, since it was required for them to be light and portable. Excavated items most often included weapons, tools, vessels and finials, but ornamental pieces such as amulets, fittings and jewellery such as pins or bracelets also feature in the material record. Archaeological evidence suggests that the Luristan bronze objects often served ceremonial functions given their funerary contexts, and there are recurring artistic motifs of flora and fauna and the human relationship to each throughout their work.

Measurements: (circa) D 9.3cm x H 0.7cm
Internal diameter: 7.9cm

Provenance: Ex. London collection, acquired 1990s-present.

Produsul este foarte bun, la fel si pretul de achixitie. In schimb fotmalitatile vamale in Romania sunt complicate.

Everything was ok with the Roman collar. It was a present and my friend was delightful with it. The only thing is the IMPORT TAXES from UK to Spain. This affected to final price and the delivery time.
