Manchu quiver

[Jim McDougall]

Ole, I very much agree with Kai...……….Peter Dekker would be a great source for information as the Qing dynasty is his forte'.
The picture you have is actually wonderfully telling, and a century is virtually nothing as far as the context of these items, the same styles of course remained in place for many centuries.
If I recall, Qing forces in frontier regions near Tibet often received weaponry and items from Tibetan artisans in a kind of tribute that was afforded periodically. This accounted for much of the cross influence and diffusion in what were regarded as 'border' examples by some collectors.

A great book "Warriors of the Himalayas: Rediscovering the Arms & Armor of Tibet", Donoald LaRocca, 2006 would be a great resource for information on the motif.

The picture more 19th century Manchu (Qing) horseman but unfortunately cannot see quiver.

Great acquisition!!!!
