Well forged, slightly over 4 1/4" length of flesh-cutting weight intended for war raiding where the opponents would be marginally protected by padded jerkins. Triangular form point with slightly ridged face on each side. The cutting edged with rudimentary barbs at the bottom. Thickened 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.
