content: Quiver with 3 arrows. Quiver is cylindrical, with a cap that is attached with a strip of leather. Mostly dark brown leather, with bands of lighter color leather and bands with woven strips of alternating brown and off-white leather. 6 very long leather tassels with triangular leather amulets are attached to the quiver at various places. One long carrying strap. The 3 arrows have cane shafts and hand-forged iron tips. Tips are secured to shafts with strips of black leather, and 2 of the arrows are wrapped with 2-inch strip of lizard skin. Mary Jo Arnoldi, curator of African Ethnology, says "while the quiver is based on older models, this one was probably created for the international tourist market. The leatherwork, however, is of a very high quality and craftsmanship."
