	The natural symbol of the constellation Arrow is the arrow. This is how the figure of the constellation was thought of until recently; see, for example, [Waerden 1949, 16; 1974, 74]. The image of the arrow is found on the Planisphere in sector 0, where the name of Dumuzi is associated with it [Koch 1989, 56, 59; Kurtik 2007, fig. 9]. However, in the GU-text the constellation is described as an anthropomorphic figure, which has an "elbow" and a "left leg". It is likely that the bow and archer were sometimes included in the constellation figure [Pingree-Walker 1988, 316, note 1; ASM, 271]; for objections to such an interpretation, see [Pingree-Walker 1988, 316, note 1; ASM, 271].
