Description | Not realistic; flat, disproportionally wide, and short. Large points with barbed ends, a bulging area below center of shaft (and this has flat instead of curved edges), then another equally wide section with flat outside edges and sides which indent obliquely to reach shaft (representing feathers?) and finally a flared shaft tip. Red and blue markings on head, bulges and tip. DIfferent on each arrow but identical on both sur-faces except for d which is also distinguished by word "Rosa" printed in blue on shaft surface of one side and red on other. |
