Green Glass Wintu Point (SOLD)
This pretty Wintu point is made of light yellowish green glass from a Newman’s Own olive oil bottle. This point copies some authentic Wintu points I’ve seen that were made from scavenged glass the Indians collected from old ranch dumps. This point is sleek and elegant, with very sharp, finely serrated edges that could very easily take down a deer. It also has the delicate, upturned notches that were a common trait of the Wintu points from northern California.

Light Blue Glass Wintu Point (SOLD)
This exquisite Wintu point is made from a piece of ice blue glass. This long, lean point is 4″ long and just barely under 1″ in width at the base. It’s gorgeous, with delicate, upturned notches and a flat, symmetrical profile. Points of this size are difficult to make because they’re so easy to snap in half if your support isn’t perfect. Thankfully this one made it through the treacherous manufacturing process and this is the result.

Long Blue Glass Wintu Point SOLD
This cool looking Wintu point is made of blue glass and it has a very long, lean profile with delicately made upturned notches. This point is flat and also quite thin and is a beautiful example of fine flintknapped art. The Wintu people lived in Northern California near the town of Redding and originally they made their exquisite arrow points out of obsidian, but started using glass after white settlers moved in.
Arrowhead Specs: 3″ long x 1/2″ wide.
