Description

Wooden bow. The limbs of the bow have a dark striped appearance with alternating bands of dark brown and black wood. The limbs have two bulges at either end to support the bowstring and the body of the bow comes to a prominent point at one end. The wood of the shaft is smoothed and polished in appearance with only minor traces of fine-grained dirt present near the pointed end. The bowstring is formed into two looped knots at either end to allow placement on the bow limbs. The wood at the looped ends of the bowstring is mottled dark brown and yellow–brown in appearance with the topmost layer of wood flaked off in places.
