A bronze arrow point, a weapon head with a triangular blade, tapers to a sharp tip bisected by a raised vertical rib. The blade's base flares into asymmetrical edges, with the right side extending lower than the left. A hollow, cylindrical socket extends from the center. The textured surface displays a mottled patina of muted green and dark brown oxidation over weathered metal.
