The items in Tutankhamun’s tomb include objects made specifically for burial as well as many personal belongings, such as tools and weapons.
Along with elaborately decorated and gilded weapons for ceremonial purposes, Tutankhamun was buried with many unpretentious items, such as slingshots (see TAA 692) or arrows. Harry Burton made two photos of the arrows here with slightly overlapping framing, allowing full documentation and showing the details of the different tips (as shown here) and the feather fletching (see TAA 107).
