Description

This set of four arrows was acquired as set with a bow [E7480-0 (B) and a quiver (E7480-0-(C)]. Each arrow has been fletched with trimmed feathers, and the shafts of the arrows at the fletching have marks created by staining that might have been applied to identify the owner. One of the arrows is missing its arrowhead, but the three others have blunt points, or 'bunts', made from bone or antler. The ends of these shafts have been cut to form wedge shapes, which are fitted into V-shaped openings in the bases of the bunts and secured with sinew lashing. Two of the bunts have engraved encircling lines.
