Pin ca. 8th-7th century B.C. Iran This cast bronze pin has a head in the form of a horned animal, possibly an antelope, with a tubular snout and pointed ears. It was excavated at Surkh Dum, a settlement site in Luristan in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. It was found in a structure interpreted as a sanctuary and was thus probably an offering to a god. Such pins were probably used to fasten clothing and as objects of adornment in their own right. Many have been attributed to Luristan, but this is one of the few examples from an archaeological excavation.. Pin. Iran. ca. 8th-7th century B.C.. Bronze. Iron Age II. Iran, Luristan, Surkh Dum

Tupu (pin) Before 17th century Tiwanaku () This object is a tupu, a Quechua word for pin (pithu in Aymara and alfiler in Spanish). Women in the Andes wear tupus in order to fasten textile garments. Tupus usually consist of two parts: a head and a stem. In this case, the head is circular. Its shape is distinct from tupus like Metropolitan Museum of Art 64.228.702 whose head is more elliptical in shape. Another difference is that a perforation is not seen on the present example. Often, people may wear tupus and other ornaments or tools along a cord or ribbon (see Rowe 1998, fig. 132 and Vetter 2009, fig. 6 for recent examples of this way of wearing tupus and Bjerregaard 2007, 111-13, no. CMA 1795, for an Inca example). The stem of the tupu is circular in cross section. While its end does not appear pointed, corrosion may be masking the shape with which it was designed. The stems of other tupus (e.g., Metropolitan Museum of Art 1987.394.603) clearly become narrower farther from the head,

Blade early 2nd millennium B.C. Iran This copper blade was once part of a spear or dagger. It was excavated at Tepe Hissar, near the modern city of Damghan in northern Iran. Tepe Hissar was primarily an agricultural settlement, with buildings made of mudbrick or simply mud walls. The blade probably dates to the early 2nd millennium B.C., as similar such blades are known from this period elsewhere in Iran and Anatolia.Although 97.8%% copper, the blade also contains 1.06%% arsenic. Arsenic was frequently alloyed with copper in order to make weapons or tools, but it is nearly impossible to determine whether this small amount of arsenic was added intentionally or was present naturally in the copper ore used to make the blade. Arsenic is quite poisonous, and smelting it produced toxic gas; thus tin began to replace arsenic as the main alloy for bronze-working in the third millennium B.C. However, tin was not always available, and the use of arsenic persisted in many parts of the ancient wor

Arrows were fitted with heads of varying shape according to their intended use in war, the hunt, or target practice. Arrowheads made for use on the battlefield incorporated different designs intended for specialized purposes such as the piercing of armor or to cause maximum damage to horses and unarmored personnel.Large arrowheads, pierced and elaborately chiseled with landscapes, birds, flowers, dragons, and Buddhist divinities, were created to be admired for the beauty of their metalwork and design rather than for use in archery.
