The shaft is made from two pieces of wood, circular in cross-section, spliced together 230 mm from tip and secured with sinew wrapping. The shaft flattens to form a U-shaped nock at proximal end. The ends of two feathers (only fragments remain) are secured to proximal end of shaft with sinew wrapping. The foreshaft is made from a single piece of bone, oval in cross-section. The slightly tapered proximal end of foreshaft is inserted into distal end of shaft and secured with sinew wrapping. A triangular iron point, with bevelled edges, is inserted into pointed distal end of foreshaft and secured with iron rivet.
