content: FROM CARD: "21,511 - 21,512. QUIVER AND BOW CASE SET OF SOFT BUCKSKIN TRIMMED WITH RED FELT AND FRINGE; FASTENED TOGETHER WITH LOOP OF BUCKSKIN TO FORM SET; CARRYING STRAP ON QUIVER ONLY. ALTHOUGH GIVEN TWO NUMBERS ORIGINALLY, IT IS A SET."
label: Notes
content: White's catalogue for his collection is in the National Anthropological Archives - Manuscript # 7435. 21511 and 21512 are listed as # 14 in the manuscript, under the listing on the Arizona collections, and described as "1 Navajoe quiver. Do. bow and 25 wood arrows." "Do." is seemingly an abbreviation for "ditto", and presumably means the bow and quiver are also Navajo. As they are all listed under original number 14, they can be presumed to be a set. As of 2007, the bow is numbered and inventoried as 21511. The combined bow-case and quiver is marked as both 21511 and 21512 but is inventoried and stored as 21512. The arrows are numbered and inventoried as 21512. - F. Pickering 10-4-2007
