Dart quiver

CNK1 · 21st April 2018, 05:33 PM

Hello friends,

after some times without posting, due to the word, I'm back with my last flea market find.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think about a Dayak dart quiver from Broneo, maybe early 20th century.

The body (lower parts) is a bamboo stick covered with braided rattan bands, the head (upper parts) is only made with braided rattan bands. I think the wood belt attachement is missing but anyone knows if this type of quiver was using "dorsal sling" ?

Just happy to come back and share it with you !

Best regards,
Clément

Very interesting, jolie trouvaille.
Treat darts with caution.

For me the arrows in the quiver are not made for a blowgun but for a crossbow and look very much like the arrows of crossbows from "Montagnards" or "Moï people" ( = all tribe from the central hightland of Vietnam ).
On this link you can see many crossbows and some bamboo quivers.

Good evening friends,

I think that you are right Athanase ! Definitely impossible to use this type of arrow with a blowgun. I just remember that my uncle gave me this type of crossbow after the succession of my grand-parents.

Just leave me a little time to take pictures of it, surely more interesting than words for describing it !

Thank's for the picts, really interesting and nice. I just note the major difference is the upper parts of the quiver, Moï people don't seem to have it in any pictures ?

Jon, this is the first thing I've checked !

Hello Clément,

it's for sure not a Dayak dart quiver (tolor), they look very different. Please post a picture from one of the darts, this will help to determine the origin of your quiver. But your quiver shows a very good age from years of handling. Nice piece.

Here an interesting thread about dart quivers: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=tolor
