From collection to cabinet.
Every arrowhead is intended for a considered presentation against a restrained mount in a black shadowbox. The Roman pieces are planned as single 10-inch exhibits; the Greek examples as four double-specimen 8-inch exhibits. Final pairings, display layouts and sale photographs will be confirmed when mounting is complete.
A note on provenance.
The catalogue distinguishes physical measurements and observations from seller-reported dates and collecting histories. Greek pieces are covered by two signed statements dated 16 October 2026; the Roman group by a signed statement dated 10 October 2026. These documents are a record of ownership claims, not excavation records or independent authentication. Roman historical setting · Greek historical setting
