Attribution - NonCommercial - ShareAlike 4.0 InternationalThree wooden arrow shafts without a point. This was probably inserted into the shafts. Two shafts are wrapped at the upper end with raffia or with a thread (which was probably attached later). All three arrows have fletching attached with raffia. Only remnants of feathers remain on one of the shafts. For the fletching, the ends of the split feathers were attached to the end of the shaft so that they protrude beyond the shaft. The feathers were then bent upwards and the keel was tied to the shaft. All three have cams and two have a bast knob on the cam. The provenance of the arrow shafts is unclear. The preserved fletching indicates a possible origin from Central Africa.
