And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Ceremonial arrowheads, steel and copper alloy, Bohemian, 1437-1439 AD
Yes...If you're asking if the craftsmen of the 1400s could make the pictured pieces. They were more than capable.
Also, yes- there are a lot of craftsmen today who study & thrive on making items like the ones pictured using the exact methods & tools they did in the 1400s.
If you're alluding to extraterrestrials/ aliens making something like that, I have no idea.
High art.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty; but from the size of the bases, I suspect that they are spear points instead.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.

DeleteYou gotta wonder, using the tools of the day, is there anyone on this planet capable of making something like that?
