Descriptions
Object Description
Arrow with knapped chalcedony point; fletched with split eagle feathers secured top and bottom with sinew. The stone point, a variant of the "prairie side-notched" style, is also lashed with sinew in a socket notched into the end of the arrow. Three meandering grooves are incised along the length of the wood shaft, which was once painted and tapers toward the fletched end. A remnant of red-dyed feather is lodged under the sinew at the base of the fletched eagle feathers.
