Hi Colin,
Thanks for the info. Two areas rather far apart! Hopefully I will be able to put better photographs up after the weekend and maybe will give a better idea of origin. Thanks again. My Regards, Norman. |

it appears to be Indonesian as indicated below by another example with a peculiar central joining piece forming a slot into which the two short arms form a longer bow... and illustrating the while material binding the device.

Bhutanese bows seem a bit different around the central grip area, as well as the general profile...

Hi Colin, Yes, the Bhutanese bows I have managed to find online all have overlapping limbs whereas the one in question has limbs that butt together. My Regards, Norman. |
