Early Korean Bronze Spearhead, Early Iron Age, 3rd Century B.C.



We are offering an archaic Korean bronze weapon of a long spearhead from the early Iron Age of 3rd Century B.C. The long spear blade is connected to a tubular socket for connecting to the spear post. A small loop for attaching link chain is at the bottom of the tube. The tube handle is finely casted with geometric patterns on each side. A long blade with a central ridge on each side extends from the tube and tapers to a sharp pointed at the end. The entire blade retains its original smooth polish and precise sharp edges. The surface has developed a fine lustrous patina with bluish gray color. Except for some small chips at the lower rim and sharp edges, this monumental early Korean iron age spearhead is in excellent condition. In order to demonstrate the massive size of this beautiful spearhead blade, we have photographed it alongside a fountain pen (not included in this sale) for your reference.


Early Korean spearhead of large size and with such fine decoration is very rare. One bronze spearhead of much smaller size (49.9cm Vs. 62cm long) was excavated in Sinchen-dong, Daegu, and is in the collection of Daegu Museum in Korean. We have included the photo of that smaller spearhead for your reference. This is an early Korean antiquities item and should not be missed out by any serious Korean art collectors or Museums.
Length: 62cm; width: 5.2cm; handle diameter: 3.2cm; thickness(at lower blade): 2.1cm
