Anasazi Cliff Dweller Arrow Replica SOLD

This beautiful arrow is a museum-quality replica of the Anasazi arrows I've personally examined in the Smithsonian.  The main shaft is reed.  The foreshaft is dogwood and it's tipped with a small, side-nothced point of translucent agate that's glued with pine sap glue and wrapped with deer sinew.  The fletch is turkey tail feathers secured with sinew and glued with hide glue.  The nock is made crush-proof by inserting a hardwood plug into the hollow reed and glued in place with hide glue, then the string groove was sawed into the harwood and reed.  The original arrows had the same hardwood plugs.  All the paint is natural earth ochre.

Slim arrows like this one are lightweight, but the addition of foreshafts added weight to the front of the arrow, making them capable of lethal penetration on big game like deer and bighorn sheep when launched from the Anasazi bows.
