Description
Arrow with detachable metal barb, from Sand Creek/Soburun, Guyana.
This fishing head is much like the "standard" model but with a detachable head tied to the shaft with a long length of line. If a fish is hit, the barded head will stick in it while the wooden shaft will detach and float on the surface of the water enabling the fish to be located and reeled in.
