Arrow made from a bamboo shaft with a nock and iron point, which is inserted into the shaft with a long-handled spike. The connection between tip and shaft is fixed by wrapping a string around it. The handle is square in shape and has small barbed spikes moulded from the iron. The top of the point has a triangular shape, the lower corners of which each end in a thin point. The shaft is decorated with incised ornaments at the top and is feathered at the bottom. The fletching is attached with raffia and the area at the notch is wrapped with raffia. During feathering, 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.
