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.

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 pmHello, 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)". You are not allowed to view links.

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 .
