Amazon arrows
 

Something a little different ... here are images of three arrows I have that are probably from the Amazon basin of South America. Can anyone help with more accurate identification ?

I would guess the very long one is for fishing from a canoe and the other two for hunting birds and larger mammals respectively ?? The shafts are made of cane or reed.

Comments are welcome; anyone else on the forum interested in tribal/ethnographic archery ?

These arrows appear to be from the Xingu region. They are quite distinctive in the short length and the bindings at the fletched ends. The examples I post pictures of are listed as coming from the Paracana, Arawete, and Asurini. Source Museum fur Volkerkunde Dresden.

Thanks to Tim for his comments. Here are a couple more references on South American arrows I found in the books "Man and his Handiwork" 1886 and "Indianer und Weisse" 1923.

If anyone has more input, comments etc to make on the subject, please do so.
