(#27) The Scythians were formidable archers that are creditedwith inventing the 3 bladed arrowhead, stronger than the bilobateand capable of piercing armour.Scythian arrowheads were typically dipped in poison, concocted of snake venom and fermented blood.They often cast their bronze with a higher percentage of tin,giving the end result of a shinier lightweight metal that has adistinct bright aural tone when handled or struck. For this reasonit is often referred to as "bell metal", or white bronze. Tribolate, solid pyramidal body. Grooves in body create blades.No stem, shaft rivet hole, internal socket 22 mm length.
