AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ancient Greek, Hellenistic Socketed Arrow Head with a Leafy Shape with Counter Spike.
Counter spikes make pulling of the arrow almost impossible on the battlefield, which drastically increases the chances of mortality. The counter spike of this specimen is reduced, presumably cut after removal from the body of the injured; otherwise, almost intact.
Scarce.

Length: 4.2 cm
