I'm a lucky boy

Hi all! I have for a while this luba bow. Was (and still in part is) covered of years of dust, but I always think that this is part of the patina. Today I have decided to clean a little all this dust and look what I have found

! A very nice decoration of engraved triangles and crossing lines. When I will end to clean the whole piece I will post better pictures.

Beautiful piece! Shame about the crack near one tip, but at least you won't be tempted to try stringing it any time in the future. What are you using to clean the wood?

Hi Fenris, I have used a piece of cloth with water and than oil. Yes, it's a shame for the crack, but it's anyway a nice bow with a beautiful patina. Now the decoration is visible along one of the arm, while the other is undecorated.
