This fresh-outta-the-shop arrowhead copies the ones Ishi made when he was living in his aboriginal homeland in the wilderness of Deer and Mill Creeks in Northern California. Ishi’s arrows were tipped with points of clear window glass just like this one; the glass was most likely scavenged from broken windows in old cabins. This fine point follows the exquisite workmanship that Ishi put into all his weapons. Free shipping within the U.S.
This finely made glass arrow point copies the type of arrowheads that Ishi, “the last wild Indian of North America”, made and tipped his arrows with when he was still living in the wilds of northern California. Ishi made arrowheads from discarded glass bottles he found at old ranch dumps, and he’d also use pieces of window glass for his points. This point is made of window glass, and copies those that tipped his hunting arrows. His hunting points differ from the larger, Wintu style points he made after coming out of the wilderness. Scroll through the photos and you’ll also see a photo of Steve Allely with a deer he killed using replica Ishi archery gear. Rest assured these points work. This is a great gift for yourself or someone who loves the wild west, history, or Native American culture. Free shipping to all US customers.

This Desert Side Notched arrow point is made of mahogany obsidian and is a copy of authentic Desert Side Notched arrow points found in the Great Basin of the Northwestern U.S. These points were used for hundreds of years to tip the hunting arrows of the Northern Paiute people who once called the high desert of the Pacific Northwest their home. This point could be used to make replica Great Basin arrows, kept as a collectible point, or used for hunting. 1 1/2 inches long x 3/4 inches wide. Free shipping to all US customers.
This simple but pretty arrowhead is a copy of arrowheads used in Northern Africa around 8,000-12,000 years ago. They’re sometimes called “hollow base” points due to the deep, concave base. Large numbers of these points have been recovered from sand blow-outs created when high winds expose previously hidden artifacts. This point is made of pink chert and has a deep concave base with long ears that would have performed as barbs when the arrow struck its prey.
Archaeological evidence shows that after the last Ice Age the Sahara desert wasn’t even a desert back then. Frequent rainfall created lakes and streams that attracted large numbers of game, and with that came the humans who hunted them. Prehistoric encampments found on the shores of ancient lakes and rivers also contained the bones of the animals they hunted; zebra, hippos, wild cats, and even shorebirds indicate there was abundant water during that remote time. The subtle wobble in the earth’s rotation (which cycles every 26,000 years) began to shift weather patterns beginning around 4,500 years ago, ushering in much drier weather. Artifacts like this arrow point speak to a much more productive time before climate shifts drove the rainfall away and allowed the Sahara to dry up and become the desolate place it is today.
Arrowhead specs: Northern Africa (hollow base) arrowhead replica made of pink chert, 7/8″ long x 3/4″ wide. Free shipping within the U.S.
This Pueblo Side Notched arrow point is made of grey Texas flint and is a copy of authentic Pueblo arrow points from the southwestern U.S. It’s thin with sharp edges and is capable of taking down deer sized game.

This point also has narrow, deep notches and fine diagonal ribbon flaking. A pretty little point.

These three metal arrowheads are exact copies of those that tipped the arrows of various Great Plains tribes in the mid to late 1800’s. They’re made from old barrel hoops as many old ones were, and they have a weathered, rusty exterior with filed edges that reveal the silver metal underneath, just like many of the old points had. The tangs that slide into the shaft have notches so the sinew wrappings get a better grip on the point. These points are perfect if you want to make your own replica Plains Indian arrows. Or they can just be kept as display pieces. Average length is a little over 2 1/2 inches from base to tip. Free shipping within the U.S.
