This arrow was given to a missionary who worked with the Wayana people of Suriname. The arrow is in remarkable condition considering it is over fifty years old. The arrows were often tipped with a deadly Curare plant based poison. Something I’ve never seen before in fletching, is that the quill is split and crossed in front of the feather.

Your pictures show everything in great detail, I was going to ask about the nock but I zoomed in on one picture and you can plainly see that it was carved into the shaft and meticulously wrapped creating a XXX pattern. Functional but artistic on such a small part. And the “point” looks like another type of wood using the limb nodes for barbs. This is a really interesting piece, thank you for giving us a look at it.Comment

Yes, one time I was out in the Jungle behind the airstrip with two Ashánica brothers. We came across a beautiful bird and followed it for a while waiting for a good shot. Finally it landed a short distance from me up in a tree where it performed an amazing courtship dance. I was mesmerized and couldn’t find it in me to shoot something so beautiful. My friends couldn’t understand why I didn’t shoot it even though I had the best vantage point. Good times…
