Model Harpoon3202/1

Two model harpoons, lashed together in a cross-shape with a leather thong. Each has a wood handle, squared and thick at top, narrowing toward bottom where the larger one is capped by a small rounded piece of antler. The tops of each hold a pointed rod of tusk attached to the handle by strips of leather that pierce the wood and antler, and are tied off along the shaft. The thongs attaching the harpoons hold small projectile points, one of metal set in antler, the other with both point and body carved of antler.
