Bronze was the metal predominantly used in arrowsmithing as it lent itself so well to mass-production by casting. The influence from the East and the presence of Scythian archers in Greek armies resulted in the diffusion of tiny arrowheads, seldom much over an inch long, cast in bronze with a hollow socket. The quiver inherited by the Scythians (the gorytos) could hold two to three hundred of these little arrows. [40, No Reserve] Condition Report Fine condition.
