Bow2927/1

Cable-backed, double recurve bow, made of musk ox horn. The main body of the bow is a long thick slab of horn, with copper rivets holding it together at its joins. Behind the horn is a layer of dark brown hide or skin running the full length. Each end of the horn bow has a knob projecting up and down, around which many strips of hide lashings have been wrapped from end to end. The lengthwise lashings are wrapped widthwise by other hide lashings and then the full thickness of the bow is wrapped near each end and in the middle. The bow string is looped around each end knob, and hangs loosely.
