Elf-Arrows



Elf-arrows were arrowheads of flint used in hunting and war by the aborigines of the British Isles and of Europe generally, as they still are among native people elsewhere. Elf-Arrows derived their name from the superstitious belief that they were used by the fairies to kill cattle and sometimes human beings in their mischief-joy.
