Projectile

hunting tool

One of three projectiles with bamboo or reed shafts and barbed wood points. Each is hafted to their respective shaft, but a tightly-wrapped cotton cover prevents further analysis of this section. Opposite end is notched to accept a bowstring and tightly wound with plant fibers. The number, shape, and style of barbs do not appear to vary significantly, and each shaft is similarly decorated with longitudinal lines of black pigment. All species unknown. Date and location unknown. Overall: 48 1/4 x 3/8 x 3/8 in.
