Bow Case & Quiver – Otter
Bow Case & Quiver - Otter
This striking Bow Case & Quiver will make a perfect addition to your collection! The crafter made the Quiver from an Otter Pelt, including the tail. He backed the tail with Red Wool sewn with Braintanned Deerskin Leather Lacing. Then he trimmed the opening with Navy Blue Wool also sewn with Braintanned Deerskin Leather Lacing. He attached the Quiver to a natural branch covered with Red Wool with Braintanned Deerskin Leather Lacing.The crafter made the Bow Case from Braintanned Buffalo Hide. A strip of Red Wool laced with Braintanned Deerskin Leather Lacing holds the top closed. Matching the Otter Quiver, a flap lined with Red Wool hangs from the open end. The crafter trimmed the opening with more Navy Blue Wool stitched with Braintanned Deerskin Leather Lacing.
Inside the Braintanned Buffalo Hide Bow Case, you will find a simple wood Bow. The center features a Leather wrapping accented with Mink Fur. You will also see hand-painted designs and a natural Turkey Feather bound with a Red Fluff Feather attached with Round Leather Lacing attached to one end. The string on the Bow is nylon. We do not think you can use this Bow to shoot as it is too brittle.
The Otter Fur Quiver holds 5 Arrows. The crafter created the Arrows from wooden Arrow Shafts. He added real White Turkey Feather fletchings and painted them with stripes to resemble wild Turkey Feathers. Three of the Arrows come with reproduction stone Arrowheads. The remaining two come with metal Arrowheads. The crafter attached the Arrowheads to the shafts with Imitation Sinew.
