A large Japanese arrowhead in sukashi, meaning the head is pierced openwork, finished with two points. It is signed Masa Mitsu. The head measures 6 1/2 inches (15.8 cm), and the full piece is 16 1/2 inches (41.5 cm) long overall. Stock number MGJ133, listed used under Japanese swords and fittings.

This goes to a Texas collector of Japanese arms who wants a pierced, signed arrowhead to show alongside sword fittings. The two-point form and the openwork are the features that set it apart from a plain hunting head, and the Masa Mitsu signature gives a name to research. At more than 16 inches overall it is a substantial object for a display stand rather than a drawer. It is sold as a used antique in the condition shown; the seller gives no further grade, so study the photographs before you buy.
