Two arrows (parts c and d). While both arrows have a metal point tip and base with fibre ? or sinew ? wrapped around both ends and their shafts are notched at the end, one arrow (part d) has a smaller base with less material wrapped below it than the other arrow (part c). One arrow (part d) has some yellow plant leaf-like fibre attached at the base of the point.
