Condition: well preserved condition, strung with modern materials. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. See images.

-> Neolithic arrowheads are a testament of human innovation and hunting prowess. Their design accommodates both hunting and defence purposes. They symbolize the capacity of humans to adapt and thrive in the challenging Neolithic environment.
