Arrowhead for an Incendiary Arrow

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts an arrowhead for an incendiary arrow. The arrowhead is made of dark brown metal, likely iron, with a pointed tip and a rough texture. The base of the arrowhead features a cylindrical shape with two curved prongs extending upwards, forming a loop in the middle. The prongs are connected at the top and bottom. The bottom of the arrowhead tapers to a smaller cylindrical section. The arrowhead appears to be mounted on a light-colored wooden or plastic stick. The background of the image is a plain off-white color.
