Context (CMS Context)
The arrowhead and the following three arrows were previously found bundled together with one labelled 'Papuan Gulf':
The arrowhead is labelled 'Blaru, Gulf', and in two printed square labels are '7' and 'a'. In addition the arrowhead is marked 'O.H. 1953'.
The arrows are labelled as follows:
1 has two square printed labels which read '4' and 'A'. In addition it is marked 'O.H. 1890.
1 has two labels which read '6' and 'A' and is marked 'O.H. 1892'.
1 has a square printed label which reads 'A' and is marked 'O.H. 1891'.

The forth arrow was from the same rack with a similar blue and white label as the others though this is blank. It was therefore grouped with the other three arrows and the one arrowhead.
