Arrowheads!---Simple?...40k-60k years-ago!?

Arrowheads!

Careful!---city-slicker!..."sharp"-edges! Ouch! Band-aid!

Made by Indians chipping-away un-needed mass from a piece of flint-rock

until a pointed-shape with sharp, jagged cutting edges remain; when attached

to a smooth-cedar shaft fletched with-feathers for flight-stability with sinew

and thrust-forward with a stringed-bow, the object becomes a "lethal"-weapon.

 

40k-60k years-old! "Only the-rocks live-forever!" (Native-American saying)

The artform-created artifacts are still found in creeks and fields by modern-man.

Interesting to-look at; comforting to-feel! "Flint" to the-smell!

 

We have garnered a-"few" over the-years; fun to-collect.

Some (green-in-color) are worth up to-$40K-each! Wow!

 

To hold-one and imagine its "fantasy"-heritage is truly amazing!

 

Ah!---"Simple" is always the most-gratifying!...for-me!

 

Amen!
