An ancient Egyptian arrowhead made of metal with visible designs.
The artifact is an arrowhead with a broad leaf-shaped blade and a short tang. It appears to be made of metal, possibly bronze, with some surface corrosion indicating its age. The surface of the arrowhead is decorated with linear patterns, likely incised into the metal. There are a couple of small holes near the wide end, potentially for fastening purposes.
