Description
Arrowheads of Native American Indian peoples. America, 13000-1000 BC.
Flint.
Provenance:
- Jacques-André Cronier (1956-2019), Château de Mezièrs le Cléry, France.
- By inheritance from previous owners.
Measurements: 8.7 x 2.7 x 0.4 cm.
Native American Indian peoples used spears and arrows for fishing, hunting, defence and even as ceremonial objects. These weapons had a shaft, which could be made of wood, and a sharp, cutting head at the top, which varied according to the tribe. The materials most commonly used for arrowheads were copper, obsidian and, as in this case, flint, a material characterised by its durability and abundance. Flint, which was worked by carving, giving it a cutting shape, was also useful because of its ability to cause sparks when it collided with other materials, giving rise to fire.
