Bow Item Number: 2948/138 a-b from the MOA: University of British Columbia

Description

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. The ends are formed into loops which are fraying and loosened. One loop is smaller but has been separated into many thin, woody strands.
