Abstract
Arrows and spears are generally made of flexible and semi- flexible materials, and were designed to have a short life. They often become distorted, broken or disassociated from attached materials when they are laid or grouped together on a museum shelf or in a drawer. The feather fletchings also may become crushed and split during display or storage if there is not adequate support. This exhibit/storage support system is designed to support arrows and spears that are stored in drawers, on shelving or are on exhibition.
