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.

Using materials such as bone, antlers, and stone, the Jmon people created not only utilitarian objects, such as harpoons and arrowheads, which supported their hunter-gatherer lifestyle, but also a variety of jewelry and objects used for religious purposes.

Netherlands wood (plant material) SecondCurved Ear Ornament (Kapeu) 18th-early 19th century Maori people Highly prized ornaments such as this pendant carved from greenstone were markers of wealth and status (mana) for Mori. Fashioned and shaped by specialist carvers known as tohunga tarai pounamu, these experts aimed to reconcile the natural forces of the stone both within and without. This style of pendant is known as kapeu due to the subtle curve of its rounded lower tip. Thin and flattened in cross section, it has emerged from a section of dark green, yet translucent stone which has been polished and smoothed by meticulous grinding with natural abrasives. Given the extreme mobility of Mori, small items of value were often perforated and worn as a safeguard until they were next needed. This was particularly true of the nephrite blades used in small chisels but chips or offcuts of greenstone might also be shaped and polished before being attached to woven flax fiber cords and worn suspended from the ear, or around the necNeckrest, 5 1/8 x 3 15/16 x 19 9/16 in.
