Our Asen staff tops are all sold and are left here for educational and research purposes.
All of these pieces have been vetted as authentic and show signs of use and age.
Staffs made of iron and brass were displayed in royal compounds to affirm kingly power. Usually depicting a king with related motifs, they were called "Asen" and commemorated past rulers. They are shown on FON ASEN STAFFS. Some are more abstract or depict birds and served another function. They are shown on FON ASEN STAFFS / BIRDS and ABSTRACT. Tops that have survived without their staffs are shown below.
