	Iransaga - Persian Art, Luristan
		The most common of the Luristan bronzes are probably the horse trappings and harness ornaments.
		Luristan art neither shows the glorification of heroism nor the brutality of man, but delights in imaginary stylised monsters in which the call of this ancient Asiatic civilization is to be felt.
		It is believed that the Luristan bronzes were crafted by the Medes, an Indo-European people who, in close association with the Persians, began to infiltrate into Persia at about this period.
