Bronze Age Dagger Fragment - Classic Riker Box Display
Over 3,000 years ago, the Ancient Mediterranean was filled with vibrant cultures and kingdoms. These groups engineered new technologies, explored the world, and facilitated vast networks of trade. Then, in only half a century, political and economic turmoil spread through the region, bringing about the Bronze Age collapse.
This specimen is a piece of a late 12th-century BCE dagger from the style of the Mycenaean culture. It is a remnant of both the era and its end, hand-rolled and prepared here at Mini Museum.
