- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, the Levant, Canaan, ca. 1550 to 1200 BCE; the Levant, Ugarit, 1550 to 1200 BCE. A fabulous cast-bronze dagger from Canaan and a bronze sword from the Ugarit culture. The dagger has a crescent shaped pommel with a recessed area for inlaying a bone or wood grip over the handle. The blade is petaloid with three raised ribs from the ricasso to the tip. The sword has a straight, long blade with a prominent midrib from the tip that runs downward and branches into 5 separate ribs that end at the flared shoulders. A short tang extends from the blade, and was probably covered with an ivory, bone, or wood grip. The weapons both have wonderful green and russet patinas and are presented in a beautiful wooden frame with a black velvet backing and engraved brass label plates. This ensemble is ready to be displayed! Size of sword: 19" L x 1.75" W (48.3 cm x 4.4 cm); dagger: 13" L x 1.5" W (33 cm x 3.8 cm); frame: 23.3" L x 12" W (59.2 cm x 30.5 cm)
