Interesting. I changed it back. I have never seen an iron trilobate bladed arrowhead. Triangular solid (bodkin), I have seen but not bladed.

Iranian tanged bronze arrowheads, from I. N. Medvedskaya’s Iran: Iron Age I. Second millennium BC dating on left of chart. The classifications I-V are based on the form of the blades. In most cases the dimensions are not provided, although Medvedskaya does mention that examples of Type I range between 3.2 cm to 13 cm.

According to Medvedskaya, iron arrowheads were not produced in Iran until Iron Age II (c. 1000 – 800 BC), and “they mostly repeat types I and IIa”. He concurs with P. R. S. Moorey (Catalogue of the Ancient Persian Bronzes in the Ashmolean Museum) that “arrowheads of both periods (Iron Age I and II in Iran) are not differentiated territorially…but it should be noted that arrowheads with a drooping barb and ‘wings’ predominate in the northern areas (Talish, Khurvin, and Marlik).”

All of these arrowheads were acquired through clandestine activities in Iran and were confiscated by the authorities in Kerman Province, Southeastern Iran. They are stored in the cultural-historical property repository of the Administration of Cultural Heritage of Kerman.

Arrowheads 1-9 are deltoid in form and made of bronze. Dimensions (cm) and notes are provided in the image.

Additional information about some in this group:
#1 – The authors cite a similar arrowhead from Assyria, dated to 1200-800 BC. The type was also used during that same period in Egypt, according to Malloy.
#2 – The authors cite a similar, though iron, arrowhead dated to mid-7th century BC from Ayanis, Turkey.
#3 – The authors cite a similar arrowhead dated c. 1450-1350 BC from excavations at Agha-Evlar (Iran). Medvedskaya dates this type to c. 1250 BC.
#4 – The authors relate this to an arrowhead from Ayanis, dated late 9th to early 8th century BC.
#6 – The authors cite a similar arrowhead from Sarm, Iran, dated to Iron Age II, 1200-800 BC.
