A late-Gothic crossbow, ca. 1470, with composite horn bow, together with what seems to be one of the finest contemporary cranequins in existence; in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ohio.

Two Late-Gothic quivers in the Vienna Arms Collection (Wiener Waffensammlung); the first of leather, of very slender shape and retaining its rare lid cover;
the second of wood covered with boar skin (the bristles now missing), the fletches painted read and green, the basic Late-Gothic colors, denoting their provenance: Schloss Ambras. Photos from flickr. Attached are two quarrels with painted fletchings from Schloss Ambras, and a view of the Vienna armor hall. Best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 22nd April 2012 at 06:08 PM. |
