Getting back to the prong-three, this arrow is a traditional hunting arrow of the Adi tribe, one of the principal indigenous communities of Arunachal Pradesh in the Eastern Himalayan region of India. Each arrow is a shaking marvel of the shaft of the arrow made of bamboo with one-pointed head of it, showing the tribe's profound connection with natural materials, forest life, and subsistence.On the back end of each shaft, there is a groove cut so that the bowstring could lock securely into it. A few leaves of the bamboo are glued just above it, serving as fletching’s for stabilizing the flight of the arrow. The idea of resorting to bamboo leaves instead of feathers reflects a peculiar adaptation to their aims, coupled with their resourcefulness and environmental consciousness.

These arrows may have been used for hunting small and medium-sized animals but were also used for traditional warfare as well as for tribal rituals. The craft of arrow-making is generally regarded as a hereditary one wherein considerable emphasis is laid on the arrow's precision, balance, and functionality. The colloquially simple yet extremely functional design is a feature of Adi craftsmanship. Tools like these arrows are not only functional objects for Adi beliefs but are an integral part of their cultural identity- the people are speakers. Today such artifacts give insight into the technological and ecological knowledge of the various tribal communities living in Arunachal.
