As of 2010, this object consists of small sinew cable-backed bow and a quiver.Source of the information below: Inuvialuit Pitqusiit Inuuniarutait: Inuvialuit Living History, The MacFarlane Collection website, by the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre (ICRC), Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada (website credits here http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/posts/12 ), entry on this artifact http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/items/139 , retrieved 2-6-2020: Model of a bow and quiver. The bow has a recurve shape and sinew backing and is an accurate reproduction of a full-size bow of this type. The quiver is made from skin, and has the flesh side turned out. A thong was attached along one edge for carrying the quiver. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/10: The MacFarlane Collection contains accurate models of bows and arrows. Both simple and recurve bows are included. Simple bows curve in an arc from one end to another when they are strung, and recurve bows are constructed so that the centre of the strung bow curves towards the archer then bends away at each end. The recurve bows and several of the simple bows have sinew backing. Models of traditional tools were commonly made by Inuvialuit for trade with Europeans.

As of 2010, this object consists of small models of simple sinew cable-backed bow, quiver, and 5 arrows; one arrow is missing its arrowhead.Quiver Model: Source of the information below: Inuvialuit Pitqusiit Inuuniarutait: Inuvialuit Living History, The MacFarlane Collection website, by the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre (ICRC), Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada (website credits here http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/posts/12 ), entry on this artifact http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/items/95 , retrieved 2-6-2020: Miniature quiver for bow and arrows. It is made from a piece of caribou skin that was folded over and sewn with sinew along one side. A hide thong has been attached at both ends to one edge for carrying the quiver, and smaller thong have been attached along the opposite edge, perhaps for decoration. One side of the quiver has been decorated with ochre stain running along the edges and perpendicular to and adjoining the line along one edge are several other decorative embellishments also made from red ochre, some of which appear to be human figurines. Note: Associated bow and arrow models are not described on the Inuvialuit Living History webpage.

Toy Bow, Arrows, And QuiverE5127-0

Quiver model with stiffener only; no bow or arrows currently present.Source of the information below: Inuvialuit Pitqusiit Inuuniarutait: Inuvialuit Living History, The MacFarlane Collection website, by the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre (ICRC), Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada (website credits here http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/posts/12 ), entry on this artifact http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/items/58 , retrieved 1-17-2020: Miniature quiver for bow and arrows. It has been made from a piece of caribou skin folded over with the fur inside and sewn with sinew along one side. Hide thongs have been attached along both edges. The quiver is accompanied by a rounded rod made from wood used for stiffening the quiver when it was empty. Stiffeners normally are inserted inside the quiver and held in place with hide thongs. Some of the thongs sewn to the quiver may have been used for this purpose. Others might have been used for tightening the quiver. The quiver and the stiffener have red ochre stains. The stains on the quiver form a pattern consisting of a line extending along the length of the quiver, with smaller lateral lines.
