Arrows were fitted with heads of varying shape according to their intended use in war, the hunt, or target practice. Arrowheads made for use on the battlefield incorporated different designs intended for specialized purposes such as the piercing of armor or to cause maximum damage to horses and unarmored personnel.Large arrowheads, pierced and elaborately chiseled with landscapes, birds, flowers, dragons, and Buddhist divinities, were created to be admired for the beauty of their metalwork and design rather than for use in archery.

The keys are mounted on a trapezoidal wooden base.  iron (metal). sokkel: wood (plant material)Key 15th century German The decoration of Gothic iron locks and keys was often elaborate and of the highest standard of workmanship. The motifs were frequently drawn from Gothic architecture, reproducing on a miniature scale complicated tracery patterns and even tiny statuettes. A number of these tiny locks were compound, with some of the mechanisms concealed from view, and required two or even three keys used in sequence to open them. It has been suggested that the greatly expanded use of locks on doors, or coffrets and other types of storage chests was a result of the increasing urbanization of life and the new emphasis on material wealth and private ownership which developed in the late Middle Ages..

Dynasty 18Ring Bit 19th century Tuareg The shanks and the mouthpiece of this bit are decorated with incised and silver plated ornaments typical of Tuareg jewelry. The Tuareg are a Berber population, mostly nomadic, living in the central Saharan region. Owning a horse in this arid climate was traditionally reserved to wealthy people, for example political and religious chiefs. Indeed, contrary to the livestock, including camels, which can find their food in the wild, horses in these regions need to be fed a special diet by humans, and thus are more expensive to care of. Therefore, horses have a high social value among the Tuareg and are often adorned with expensive and highly decorated horse tack like, this bit.The ring bit is a strong instrument distinguished by the fact that the curb chain is replaced by a ring attached at the top of the mouthpiece, going around the horses lower jaw. The ring would press the sensitive chin of the horse when the reins are pulled.

Hammer heads and stakes of many different sizes, shapes, and weights are necessary to create the complex forms of different weapons and pieces of armor. Tachaux trained in Paris under the German armorer Ludwig Klein (about 1830-1882) and inherited his teachers tools, which he combined with his own. The set, possibly the most complete of its kind in existence, was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum in 1912 at the request of the Arms and Armor Department's founding curator Bashford Dean..
