Wooden bow. The bow has a smoothed surface with a carved point at one end and two sections of woven fibre at either end. At the obtuse end there is also a wrapped ring of thicker plant fibre, probably serving as a rest for the bowstring. The bowstring is slightly misshapen and bent in sections. T...
Wooden bow. The body of the bow has a carved circular bulge or platform at one end where the woven looped end-piece of the bow string rests.
