Dart Quiver2814/45 a-i

Woven dart quiver (part a), with seven darts (parts b-i). Quiver is long and cylindrical with flared sides that widen at the rim. Quiver is tightly woven with a darker brown colour woven into the bottom half in a zigzag pattern. The bottom is flat and capped with resin coated fabric. A twine string is tied around the quiver at the narrowest part at the bottom, perhaps for hanging. Inside the quiver there is a bundle of grass to hold the darts in place. Each dart is composed of a thin wooden stick with cotton tied to the tips with a thin piece of string.
