Its defining features are a leaf-shaped blade, a midrib and a tang. The ancient head measures 7.3 cm and entered the collection as a gift of the American Society for the Excavation of Sardis in 1926.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shared leaf-shaped outline and central ridge make this a relevant formal comparison. The museum head has its own proportions and tang; the Archaeopolis arrow’s covered attachment, shaft and fletching are not documented by that ancient object. The museum’s date applies to its arrowhead, not to the contemporary product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.britishmuseum.org\/collection\/object\/G_1856-0826-446\"\u003eKalymnos arrowhead 1856,0826.446\u003c\/a\u003e provides a further Aegean example of a leaf-shaped bronze blade with a midrib, but with a socket and side barb.
