Arrow bamboo is a weapon used traditionally by the Birhor tribe, an indigenous tribal community mostly inhabiting the forests of Jharkhand. The Birhor tribe is called because of this hunting and forest-based way of life they have made their life at home and perfected the art of how to create an arrow, which clearly denotes the functionality along with the grace. This particular arrow includes bamboo shaft attached with an iron arrowhead, which is unique with its two barbs and little curvatures-an attack design for maximum impact hunting efficiency. The head is iron and bears medial ridges present on both outer surfaces for high strength. The shell's back end is feathered for speed, while the grooved end fixes it firmly to the bowstring.

These arrows, as weapons are, become deep-rooted cultural practices that are nurtured from one generation to another. Well crafted, the arrows showcase the intimate knowledge of the materials around them, their survival strategies, and more importantly, their relationship with nature-how symbiogenetic relationship one may consider it to be. It is more than the thousands of industrial weapons available; it is a testament to innovations in the history of the tradition and collaborative attachment with the environment.
