From the old collection Archives Prehistoric Europe:
This is a very early Bronze Age arrow head of bronze
belonging to the Central Europe early
Bronze Age 2000–1600 BC.
It is the time of the Sky Disc!
The Bronze Age, evolving out of the preceding Chalcolithic period, is a fascinating moment of evolution with important economic and social changes as metallurgy develops, while stone implements are still being used and made. Mining expands with ensuing contacts and commercialization; fire is mastered and a new class of metalworkers emerges. Most of the production is composed of tools and weapons such as celts, axes, spearheads, daggers and swords; personal ornaments such as bracelets, fibulas, torques are also made in considerable quantity. Parallel with the above, gold was sought after and beautifully fashioned, in part to answer the demands of a new warrior aristocracy. The Bronze Age smith was particularly sensitive to line and form as exemplified by his production. The chronology of this period is somewhat in flux and arbitrary, though many dates are based on sound contexts from excavation. The divisions between the Early, Middle and Late Bronze Age differ according to countries and schools of thought.
The Bronze Age is part of the three-age system for prehistoric societies.
In that system, it follows the Stone Age and is followed by the Iron Age.
A really rare artifact.
