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: a white and gray eagle feather and an iridescent green feather, possibly from a parrot or toucan. The arrow is wrapped in black cording in several places: just above and below the tail feathers, the space where the front and back ends of the shaft meet, in the center of the back half of the shaft, and just below the flight tip.
