Luristan Sword, C. 1000 BC
An ancient Near Eastern bronze split ‘ear’ pommel sword, dating to around 1000 BC.
A formidable Bronze Age sword. The long blade with a broad mid-rib, tapering to a point, the bifurcated pommel cast onto the hilt, itself separately cast to the blade and joined with a v-shaped section. The distinctive shape of the pommel has hollow sections which would once have contained inlays of bone or wood.
At first glance this impressive sword would appear to be utilitarian weapon, designed simply for battle. But look closer and you will see that the blacksmith has taken time to inscribe various patterns across the hilt and pommel; geometric sketches and even an abstract face mask. A care and attention that suggests this was a prized object in antiquity.
In the right ear is Hold Me Down by Halsey and in the left is Far Away by Jose Gonzalez.
I highly recommend headphones.

ANOTHER ONE WOO. This time for cormortuis who likes Beauty and the Beast and requested a split song with either French or German.
I've kinda decided to try and do a series of English and Original Where-the-Film-is-Set Language split-earphoned songs, so I chose French for this.
Left ear is French, right ear is English.
Enjoy and be forewarned, there's a LOT of 'bonjour' in there.
...I did a thing again.
With headphones Sanctuary - the English version of the Kingdom Hearts 2 theme - plays in your left ear and Passion - the Japanese version - plays in your right ear.
Both are sung by Utada Hikaru~
I've spent the last couple of days on wholetjackdrive's blog, listening to the songs on their audio tag and drooling over the split audio tracks - where one part of the audio plays in one earphone and a different audio plays in the other earphone.
They did a split track of Simple Plan's Jet Lag, with the English and French versions playing at the same time in different earphones so I've tried to do the same with Summer Paradise.
The English version is the left ear and the French version is the right ear.
I'm super happy with the result!
