Luristan Bronzes (Rarely ``Lorestan``, ``Lorestani`` in sources in english) are cast objects decorated with bronze sculpture from the early iron age which have been found in Lorestan Province and Kermanshah in Western Iran. They include ornaments, tools, weapons, horse-fittings and a smaller number of vessels and those found in recorded excavations are generally found in burials. The ethnicity of the people who created them remains a mystery, though they may well have been Iranian, possibly related to the modern lur people who have given their name to the area.
