AI image analysis GPT-5.4-nano
Machine-generated from the object's image on Jul 2026. Not curatorial; treat deities, names, and signs below as the model's best reading, not authority.
A single arrow viewed from the side, with a pointed end and a darker composite/stone-like segment near the head, photographed against a plain light background.
The image shows an elongated arrow with a mostly straight shaft. Both ends are visible: the left end appears more worn/frayed near the tip, while the right end contains a darker band or segment close to the point that may correspond to the composite stone tip described in the catalogue. A narrow, darker strip runs along a portion of the shaft near the tip, suggesting an inset or binding material. No painted decoration, carved motifs, or readable markings are visible. There are no hieroglyphs and no visible cartouches, deities, or inscriptions on the arrow surface in this view.
