Quiver Item Number: D 1914.131 from the MAA: University of Cambridge
A long thin ?seal skin quiver with a stitched rounded base. The fur is slightly worn away in places.The tip of a black stone arrowhead was found at the bottom of quiver, it is mounted with the quiver in Box 49.D.2.; Good.
Interestingly the Northwest Coast was not visited on the 1st or 2nd Cook voyage making the provenance for this quiver somewhat questionable. Adrienne Kaeppler in Artificial Curiosities (1978, Bishop Museum Press: Honolulu, Hawaii) notes that the very similar quiver 1925.380 (deposited in 1912 by the Earl of Denbigh, and ex-Pennant Collection) and gives the provenance as Tierra del Fuego, page 279, visited on Cook' s 1st 2nd voyages. The original European tribal names and, where possible, current tribal names have both been given in separate GLT fields.; Collected in ?1769.
