Luristan bronze is a term referring to a set of Early Iron Age (c. 1250-650 BC) bronze artifacts that have been recovered from Luristan and Kermanshah areas in west-central Iran. Little is known of this ancient culture but the most impressive traces are of the bronze artifacts they left behind such as these blades. It is theorized that they were crafted by the earliest existence of the Median Empire.
