label: Notes
content: Originally called a "ceremonial staff" but note on card says "*5/5/71 This item has the form of a miniature bow stave, with notches in one end, exactly like a bow would have. Therefore it probably was a ceremonial bow, unless by chance the end notches were for the tieing on of a plume trailer or other ceremonial object. --R. Elder"

content: 2 pieces: Bow and fabric bag/sheath. The bag doesn't seem to be marked with the number, and it isn't mentioned on the catalog card, but it is the exact right size to fit the bow.
