Description

A leather quiver that is seamed together from several parts. The surface and the inward are from leather; in between, a layer of fabric is sewed in. The form of the quiver becomes broader from the opening towards the bottom. The lower part and the bottom are separate parts that are sewed to the carcase of the quiver. On the bottom, the quiver is embossed with a flower-shaped ornament. Around the quiver two iron rings are applied that have each a lug for the fixing of the carrying strap. The rings are sewed into the leather sleeve; one of the rings is broken out and lays open.

The provenance of the quiver is not cleared. Yet the country of origin could not been determined. Some characteristics of the quiver indicate a potential European origin.
