Arrow with iron tip

Contact the institution

Arrow probably made from a reed shaft and with an iron point that is inserted into the shaft using a spike. The upper part of the point is leaf-shaped and has two pointed, thin barbs at the bottom. The shaft is wrapped underneath with very fine, glued-on raffia. The provenance is unclear, as no inventory book entry could be clearly assigned to the object. Based on the material and shape, it is probably an African arrow.
