Hi
The books "Ata Epe" and "The Grayson Collection" both show this type of quiver and arrows as being from Somalia. Have a look at the University of Missouri website. I would say they are of some age, just collected in a new condition. Regards. |

Thank you all very much.
 So it seems to be of Somali origin, which could fit to the provenance that was told to me (Ethiopia).

Colin, I bought e x a c t l y the same quiver in Tripolis from people comming from Niger, cca 7 years ago (cannoct post picture, as I have it at home and I will be there in half a year). I looked at the Grayson Collection, you are right - the quivers are very, very similar.
Some time ago I bought nice quiver from Nuer in Ethiopia. After a few years I found nearly the same in one village in Mandara in North Cameroon ... isnīt it interesting ? Regards, Martin |
