Arrow with iron tip

Contact the institution

Arrow probably made from a reed shaft with a nock and an iron point with a long-handled spike, which is inserted into the shaft and fixed with raffia. The end of the shaft is wrapped in raffia above the notch. The point is leaf-shaped, ridged on both sides and has two slightly curved, pointed barbs at the bottom. No inventory book entry could be clearly assigned to the object. The provenance is therefore unclear. Based on the material and shape, it is probably an African arrow.
