Cool x2!  Are the points just sharpened hardwood or is something hafted on there?

Veryu cool, Sadie. I love that "real" primitive stuff.  8)  I wonder what they hunt with them. Birds?

What surprises me every time I see pre-industrial arrows is how delicate they often are.
Those parrot fletchings look real nice.
