Ishi Arrowhead

This exquisite arrowhead is a replica Ishi point that was used by Ishi (the last wild Indian in North American) when he was living in the northern California wilderness of Deer Creek during the early 1900's. It's made of window glass, which Ishi used quite a bit, and is a bit of a hybrid between a Wintu and Elko eared point. Ishi made these points from glass he scavenged from ranch dumps and would tip his arrows with them. This one is just a bit larger than the ones he made in the wilds, but it's the exact same design and shape as the ones he hunted with.  And yes, he made points this sleek and delicate and actually survived by shooting deer and other game with them.  The points Ishi made while living in the wilds are different than the typical "Ishi", or Wintu style points he made while living at the museum.   

Dimensions: 2 1/4" long x 3/4" wide
