The invention of bronze changed the face
of ancient technology. Men soon
discovered that this alloy of copper and
tin produced stronger tools of war, and
soon all the great armies of the Near
East carried bronze weapons. This
splendid dagger or short sword would
have seen battle duty about the time of
the Biblical patriarchs. Though its
antiquity is evident, its linear
simplicity gives it a contemporary
appeal.
