Long description
Cylindrical bamboo quiver, with a lid of twisted cane which rises to a form a knop in the centre. The lid is connected to the quiver by a bamboo strip. A rectangular woven piece of cane is attached by two groups of bamboo strips to the side of the quiver, functioning as some sort of bag or basket, perhaps for spare bow strings. A wider strip of bamboo is attached to one of these groups of bamboo strips and is broken at one end. [EH [OPS move] 22/9/2017]
