Description

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.

Information from the Smithsonian

As of 2010, this object consists of small sinew cable-backed bow, quiver, and 5 arrows.
