Arrow for a bow/disc arrow

Probably the stock of a weapon or something similar. The object contains a cross-sectional hole with adhering remnants of wood. It is divided in colour by three black rings and contains filigree incisions of geometric and floral ornamentation on the light surfaces. A hole has been drilled at the tapered end, probably to accommodate a leather strap. Provenance: Africa (?). The object belongs to the estate of the senior general practitioner Georg Wilke (*1859 Dresden +1938 Rochlitz), which initially went to the teaching collection of the Rochlitz secondary school after his death and was transferred to the collection of Rochlitz Castle in the 1960s.
