It looks like a Chinese stone bow (石弓--pronounced "seokgoong" in Korean). Take a look at http://bbs2.ruliweb.daum.net/gaia/do...ticleId=585538

Thank you Cornellistromp & Bluelake
I have look for similar example using in google Chinese stone bow and Italian stone bow and from those 2 country the stone bow are very similar .. I have found more picture from 17 th and 16 th century model who are near the construction from mine so I believe that it could be from 17th or 16th century . |
