Symbolic of forward movement and direction, arrowheads are a prehistoric symbol of courage and protection. This shown here is believed to be a middle archaic period bird point arrowhead. It was found in the Great Plains on a friend’s ranch near where I grew up. The artifact is thousands of years old. I 3d scanned, resized, 3d printed, made a mold and then cast it in various metals to be a little charm that measures approximately 11x7mm. The idea for this project spurs off of a personal documentary project I am photographing in the Great Plains where I grew up. A percentage of the profits from each sale will go towards the preservation of the Tallgrass Prairie near Cottonwood Falls, KS. Less than 4% of the world's tallgrass prairie remains. Most is found in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Shown here is 14k rose gold (the solid gold charms come on a very thin .8mm chain). It is also available in sterling silver, bronze and 14k gold plated as well.
