I would guess 500 BC. Looks very similar to Chinese bronze arrowheads from that time. Bue--.

Well I would love to know more about it Ink but don't discount the Chinese head remember the mongols raged war in that part of the world. Plus trade with the far east might have brought in such prizes.

I believe the Romans made bronze tools I wonder if it could be from them?

The Mongols loosed a lot of arrows in your part of the world.
Very nice!

Post your photo on the Asian Traditional Archery Research Network   www.ATARN.net    The guys there are THE experts on ancient archery artifacts and such.  They also have a group in Facebook where you could post the pic.

If it's bronze, it's a HECK of a lot older than "medieval", that's for certain!!

insoup -- sorry to be so long in replying.  Yes, they will reply if you post and ask questions.  

ATARN is a Forum, just like TradGang, but dedicated to what I call historic and ethnic traditional archery, not 20th century Europo-American traditional archery.
