Bow Item Number: 2948/139 a-b from the MOA: University of British Columbia

Description

Wooden bow. The body of the bow (part a) is slightly curved with blunt ends and a bundle of woven fibres fixed to one end. The fibres are woven loosely enough to allow some movement of the bundle along the bow limbs. The bowstring (part b) is misshapen and stiff with fraying of wood fibres along its length, and two woven loops at either end. The loop that is unattached to part a has a long frayed end with many wood fibres hanging loose.
