Christie's, The Axel Guttmann Collection of Ancient Arms and Armour, part 2, London, 2004, item 36, p.33. 356 grams, 44.5 cm (17 1/2 in.). Acquired 1980-2015. Ex Abelita family collection. Luristan was hardly an ethnic or political entity, but the people of Luri had relations through warfare and trade with Sumerians, Lullubi, Assyrians, Babylonians and Elamites during a long time period, spanning from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium BC. The ruling elites of warrior horsemen were buried in their graves with their weapons and horses which are the main sources of the Luristan bronze weapons.
