short description
This bamboo arrow of the Adi tribe in Arunachal Pradesh speaks of their affinity with nature as well as shows their expertise in weapon crafting. The Adi tribe, who still has a sound cultural tradition and which has a long reliance on hunting and warfare, has been dependent on bamboo very much for creating tools and weapons. This arrow with its bamboo shaft and iron head serves both applicability and accuracy, the virtues necessary for traditional hunting by the tribe.
The shaft is made of bamboo because of its much-reduced weight, high strength, and flexibility. Bamboo, by its very essence, has created a great continuum of resources for the Adi that have done everything from everyday tools to the most intricate weapons. The head is that, sharpened from the top with an iron head attached to the bamboo shaft giving all the required sharpness and durability for effective use in hunting or defense. The heads of the arrows, made of iron, are generally forged by local blacksmiths so that any of the combinations of nature with metalworks can be shown. These arrows used to be for hunting purposes, game for the tribe's food for everyday life, rituals, or festivals in honor of their warriors' skills. The tradition has managed to stay alive through the years, as the art of crafting arrows is passed on from generation to generation among the Adis.
The bamboo arrow of the Adi tribe can also be regarded as the functional bit of part as well as the most significant item in the cultural and historical identity of the tribe, reflecting the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of the people.
