Copper ingot, Late Bronze Age, ca. 1450–1050 , Cypriot, Copper, width 14 3/8in. (), Bronzes, Cyprus is thought to have been the main producer of copper in the Late Bronze Age, although very few ingots, apart from miniature votive ingots, have been found there. Ingots of this characteristic shape were made only in the Late Bronze Age and seem to be the usual form in which pure copper was transported as a raw material to the ports of the eastern Mediterranean
