VIKING SOCKETED ARROWHEAD C.866-1067 AD

About 3 3/4” (3.74”) length with butted side seam conical socket, the bottom eroded, and thin flesh cutting point of war/raiding type, intended for surprise attacking, and thus, for coastal raiding. Vikings raided coastal Mediterranean settlements capturing women and children who were sold into slavery in North Africa or returned with them to Scandinavia where they served their Viking masters.
