Quiver Item Number: 2927/2 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Quiver with two compartments formed from ground squirrel skins. The compartments are sewn together along their long edges by strips of rawhide. A strap of rawhide with toggles of hoof(?) comes from the bottom of the quiver and would likely have attached to a small strip of rawhide that is attached at the top. An antler handle is attached to centre of long edge of the larger compartment.
