The Bronze sword in the Fine Arts Museum is a remarkable piece of ancient weaponry. This intricately crafted sword is a product of mold-casting techniques and can be traced back to the 12th and 7th centuries BC. The dagger pommel is mold cast in the shape of an ibex head, with ornate stylization of its eyes, ears, and muzzle, as well as thin and elegant horns.
