EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases six exquisite swords from Lorestan, Iran, dating back to the 8th-7th century BC. Crafted with a combination of bronze and iron, these ancient weapons hold an incredible historical significance. The Elamite influence is evident in their design, as they were created during the period when Elam ruled over parts of modern-day Iran. What sets these swords apart is the intricate decoration adorning their hilts. Each hilt displays unique patterns and motifs, indicating that they were custom-made pieces crafted with great attention to detail. These swords not only served as formidable weapons but also represented symbols of power and status in ancient Iranian society. Currently housed at the National Museum of Iran in Tehran, this collection offers a glimpse into the rich metalworking tradition prevalent during that era. Ranging in length from 18 to 40cm, each sword possesses its own distinct charm and character. The craftsmanship displayed on these Persian blades speaks volumes about the skill and artistry possessed by ancient Iranian metalworkers. This print serves as a testament to their legacy and invites us to appreciate both the functional aspects and aesthetic beauty of these remarkable artifacts from centuries past.
