Attribution - NonCommercial - ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalArrow made from a crooked wooden shaft with a long-handled iron point. The shaft is square in shape and has small pointed barbs on the edges. The handle also serves as a spike. The tip at the top is triangular in shape. One lower corner is extended into a thin, pointed barb. The shaft has a fletching above the nock, which is fixed with raffia. For the fletching, the ends of the split feathers were attached to the end of the shaft so that they protrude over the shaft. The feathers were then bent upwards and the keel was tied to the shaft. The provenance of the object is unclear. The feathering and the tip indicate a possible origin from Central Africa.
