An original set of 19th Century hunting arrows in their original period Quiver. The set consists of 13 iron headed arrows all with bamboo shafts each with hand notched end for bow string. 12 of the arrows have leaf shaped iron blades with barbs & steel tangs cut and bound into their bamboo shafts. One arrow head is chisel shaped with tang cut and bound into its bamboo shaft. The iron of each arrow head has even patina of aged iron. Similar Native African arrow heads are illustrated on page 74 of Stone’s book ‘A Glossary Of The Construction Decoration & Use Of Arms & Armour. The arrows are contained in their original period wood covered leather quiver bucket. The leather has panels of finely hand tooled geometric decoration. The leather is clean & intact with no tears or damage and has remnants of 2 cloth shoulder straps attached. The quiver has its original, removable hard leather dome shaped cap / cover. The leather of the cap is clean & undamaged but one of the stitched seams has become open at some point in its life (this could easily be repaired by a saddler or other leather worker). A similar quiver bucket without cap described as Central African is illustrated on page 521 item 14 of Stone’s book. The price includes UK delivery. W 672
