The lot features an early 1900’s bow, arrow and quiver set attributed to the Chiricahua Apache of Arizona. The hardwood bow measures overall 57 inches in length and still has the old drawstring attached with the gripping area being wrapped with old Indian tanned buckskin hide and strips of old trade clothe. There are two arrows included that have old crow feather fletching and sinew wrappings. The old quiver measures 22 inches in length and is made of Indian brain-tanned hide with old blue painted designs, red stroud cloth, painted fringes and the original braided shoulder stap and hand-carved support rod still intact. The support rod has a large section of blue and white beadwork at the center done in glass trade seed beads. Truly a nice early Indian Reservation period early 1900’s set showing nice well preserved condition and uncommon Chiricahua Apache origin. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Jim Bastian Kansas City, MO.
