Well forged, just under 4 3/4” length of flesh-cutting weight intended for war raiding where the opponents were surprised and caught without protective garments. Rounded triangular form point with both sides flat. Spread foot base to seat in the shaft and tapered tang. This arrow was made for the classic Viking raid which started with the savage slaughter of anyone encountered until the remaining victims ceased resisting and capitulated to their demands which included seizing anything of value and often, enslaving those fit for the market or their own use.
