Description

Wooden bow. The limbs of the bow are smoothed and pointed with woven fibre bands at either end. The bowstring is slightly misshapen and bent with evidence of severe fraying and deterioration of the looped ends, so that one end of the string can no longer be placed onto the bow limb. Between the weave of the woven end pieces of the bow limbs there is dark dirt caked into the material, and the woven fibres are discoloured a darker brown. At one end of the body of the bow there are also present circular rings of fibre in addition to the woven fibre piece.
