those are very nice!
I wonder... maybe the plant fiber on the tips is meant to rot in the enemy's body... ![]() |

THEY ARE MOST LIKELY FROM NEW GUINEA OR THE ISLANDS AROUND THERE. I HAVE SOME VERY SIMULAR FROM AN OLD COLLECTION THEY WERE COLLECTED IN THE 1930'S BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE INFORMATION ON WHERE THEY WERE COLLECTED WASN'T WITH THEM.
THE DESIGNS ON THE SHAFTS IDENTIFY THE OWNER OF THE ARROW. THE FIBER WRAP ON TIPS IS DESIGNED TO COME OFF IN THE WOUND AND MAKE INFECTION MORE LIKELY. SOMETIMES THE FIBER IS SOAKED IN SOMETHING ROTTEN OR POSIONOUS BEFORE WRAPPING ON THE TIP OR SHAFT TO DRY. A FIBER FROM A TYPE OF ORCHID IS OFTEN USED FOR THIS AND HAS A YELLOW COLOR. CONGRADULATIONS A NICE SELECTION. ![]() |
