A set of three Himalayan hunting arrows from Eastern Nepal, likely dating from around the mid- 20th century. The tips of iron arrowheads, with downward turning barbs, forge twisted at the stem. Connected to bamboo shafts by bound sinew. One arrow still retains its feather fetching at the base. A rare set of Eastern Nepali hunting arrows.
