Arrows were fitted with heads of varying shape according to their intended use in war, the hunt, or target practice. This arrowhead and others like it also in the Metropolitan Museum's collection (acc. nos. 32.75.489, .494, .503, .506, .519, .562, .586, .591, .614, .657, .659) were made for use on the battlefield, with different designs intended for specialized purposes such as the piercing of armor or to cause maximum damage to horses and unarmored personnel. On the other hand, highly elaborate examples (acc. nos. 32.75.318, .321, .327, .330, .334, .337, .339, .340, .398, .399, .403, .406, .409, 36.25.2616) were made as gifts or for ceremonial purposes.This pointed, cone-shaped arrowhead was probably intended as an armor-piercing form (yoro toshi)..
