Description

Quiver, part of a set that includes a quiver [E1115-0 (A)], that is identified on the Smithsonian Institution's catalogue as a 'boy's bow'. The quiver is made from caribou hide. It has a sleeve with a wood rod inserted as a stiffener sewn along one side, and a carrying strap made from a hide thong is sewn onto that side. On the opposite side are a number of fringes, some of which are decoratedwith white beads. The opening for the arrows has been finished by folding it back and sewing it in place.
