Hi, All!
This item was dug out in Iran a few month ago.
Made of a light white color metal, may be of bronze. The ancient fylfot on the shield, shoes in oriental style...
The height of the warrior is 14 sm.
Any ideas of where I could find info on age?

Hello sasha, I think that you should take it to a museum as they will be able to give you a lot of information about it.

Xavier  is correct  a museum  or fine arts antiquity  dealer.

The country  of origin  may want  it back also .

Pewter.   Bronze would be more yellow like Brass.     Bronze is copper,  and Tin.

Thanks! Xavier, The Iranian owner used when searching for metal detector. You are right, I would advise him to go to the Iranian museum.

Posted on: June 10, 2015, 03:49:52 pm
Hello, Homefire. Among my ancient finds have items made of white bronze.
 "Bronze color varies depending on its composition; with increasing percentage of tin in the alloy bronze color turns pink and red (90-99% Cu) in yellow (85% copper), followed by white (72% copper), and finally I / steel-gray (35 % copper)".

The warrior is made of a light metal, may be containing a big percentage of a tin.

You are quiet right RR best thing to do then would be to send some photos to a museum in the UK for example.

There are new International  antiquity  laws to deal  with  also.
Things are  not  like  they were years ago .
One should  check  on those  before  doing  anything  with  the  item .
