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 additionally fixed with raffia. The shaft is wrapped with raffia above the notch. The point is leaf-shaped, has two thin, pointed barbs and is ridged on both sides. No inventory book entry could be clearly assigned to the object. The provenance is therefore unclear. Based on the material and the shape, it is probably an African arrow.
