Description

An arrow with a shaft probably made from reed, a notch and an iron tip with a long-stemmed tang that is put into the shaft and fixed with bast. Above the notch, the end of the shaft is wrapped with bast. The tip is leaf-shaped, edged on both sides and has two pointy, slightly bent barbs.

The object could not be determined clearly and since no corresponding entry in the inventory could be identified, the provenance is not cleared. Based on the material and the form it is probably an African arrow.
