Arrow (Omuvi)

Skilfully designed and crafted so as to function efficiently under specific conditions and for specific types of prey, in Namibia arrows were also elegantly shaped and decorated so as to provide an aesthetic effect. Thus, they not only performed a specific function, but also expressed both the cosmology and the personality of their owners. [SF]
