Ancient Greek Mycenaean Period Bronze Arrowhead 1500 -1100 B.C. 

This is an exquisite piece of history - an arrowhead that was used by the skilled Achaean archers in Ancient Greece. It is made of durable bronze and has a unique V-shaped tanged design known as type VIIIb. This arrowhead belongs to the Bronze Age period, which lasted from around 1500 B.C. to the final phases of the Mycenaean era in 1100 B.C. - a time that coincided with the legendary Trojan War. It's fascinating to think about the battles that were fought with weapons like these.
