33 1/2” length. Cane shaft with lashed wood nock with good geometric painted decoration. Fletching lacking as always encountered. Beveled edge, thickened point kite shaped point with banding above. Sound with dark patina, the point crisp with minor staining only. Classic as used in mounted field engagements where most of the riders wore light textile protection only.
