Group of Central Asian Points
From a private collection which I was allowed to scan.
Upper, L to R; chipped stone, from the Uzbek/Afghan border, pre 2000BC; Bronze, bi-lobed, socketed point from same area and not too much later; Bronze, socketed, trilobed point from near Yasi, Kazakhstan, the old capital of the country, on the Old Silk Road, 800-500 BC + or -; Bronze bi-lobed point with minute socket from a battlesite in Uzbekistan. Because it is not representative of indigineous types, it is assumed to have arrived with the Macedonian army, 329BC;
Lower L to R; Bronze, tri-lobed point with eroded socket, Warring States period, 700-200 BC Western China, associated with Huns, Socketed bronze bi-lobed point, western China (Xinjaing?) 800-600BC + or -. Associated with Scythian/Sakian culture; Iron tri-lobed, tanged point, Sakian, Uzbekistan, 100 AD; Iron, tri-lobed, tanged Sakian point, 300 AD.
Hope you enjoy, -j-
