ARROW, MINIATURE

A small arrow with a chicozapote wood shaft, the back half of which is wider, and rounder than the rectangular section of shaft near the arrow’s head. The arrow has a flint tip. The arrow also has two tail feathers, both with some black and iridescent blue and green coloring. These feathers are either from a parrot or toucan. The arrow is wrapped in black thread in three places: where the front and back ends of the shaft meet, in the center of the back half of the shaft, and just above the feathers at the tail end.
