Formosan bows, arrows and quivers

Recently got this quiver as part of a grouping but was most into the quiver, despite the splits in the bamboo.

Also there is an image of an Atayal quiver in the following (hard to access) reference: Formosan Tribes, Nelly Frize’s Collection Volume 1 where it is called a “bhuvnig”

majacobson,

Thanks for showing another old example of Taiwanese weapons. The quiver is a great find.
