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.

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

Karl:
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 .
