He purchased it on location in Tehran while in the Middle East during one of his around-the-world art buying trips Mr. Warner (1931-2025) was a graduate of both Mexico City College and Thunderbird and a noted dealer in Pre-Columbian \u0026amp; Tribal Artifacts. He had galleries in Dallas and La Jolla, a client base that included private individuals and institutions, and served as an authority for authentication. In addition, events during the 1960s and 1970s were held to showcase his collection across the United States in retail establishments like Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Shillito's and Higbee's among others. In retirement, Mr. Warner (T-Bird '57) continued to be an avid collector and served both as the Art Curator for the Thunderbird School of Global Management (now part of Arizona State University) and the Creator\/Director of the The Global Market for ethnographic art and gifts which was founded in 1994. Many of the items he collected are now part of the permanent collection of Thunderbird and Arizona State University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/collection\/object\/W_1932-0514-2\" title=\"The British Museum\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Bristish Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"The Met\" href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/325118\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Met\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"The Penn Museum Journal 'Luristan Bronzes in the University Museum' by Leon Legrain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.penn.museum\/sites\/journal\/13302\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Penn Museum Journal 'Luristan Bronzes in the University Museum' \u003c\/em\u003eby Leon Legrain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Penn Museum\" href=\"https:\/\/collections.penn.museum\/collections\/accessionlot.php?irn=2423\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(38, 38, 112);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(38, 38, 112);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003ePenn Museum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tf.uni-kiel.de\/matwis\/amat\/\/iss\/kap_b\/advanced\/ab_1_2.html\" title=\"The Luristan Project\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(38, 38, 112);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(38, 38, 112);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(38, 38, 112);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003eThe Luristan Project\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExplore more \u003ca title=\"Decorative\" href=\"https:\/\/ourtastedesign.com\/collections\/decorative\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(46, 85, 143);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDecorative\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e at Our Taste Design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Our Taste Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41294520746048,"sku":"OTD_01127","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0138\/7492\/1536\/files\/LuristanBronzeAgeSwordSpearTipPersiaIran_FrontView.jpg?v=1783193025","url":"https:\/\/ourtastedesign.com\/products\/bronze-age-luristan-sword-spear-tip-24-h-x-1-25-w","provider":"Our Taste Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
