WESTERN ASIATIC BRONZE PIN WITH A STAG

Ca. 1st millennium BC.
A bronze pin featuring a round-section shank that extends on one end to a stag protome adorned with high branched horns, long muzzle, and three little round hoops on the pin. In the heart of the rugged landscapes of western lands, lies the ancient culture of Luristan, where the stag reigns as a symbol of profound significance. Esteemed for its strength, elegance, and symbolic depth, the stag holds a central role in Luristan's mythology and artistic heritage.
