Quiver and arrows. The quiver is long and tubular, made of two pieces of wood covered in woven yellow, red and brown cane in a geometrical pattern, with bands of leather binding at the base and twice round the middle. From the latter two a sling of leather is attached. There is a band of woven cane round the open end. The quiver holds thirteen arrows: six form a set, of cane with four brown feather fletchings bound on with thread, and a range of heads all tanged and bound on with glued thread. One has a round head for birding, one long square-section head, two have broad heads and two have barbed heads. One more, probably from this set, has no fletchings and its head is covered in a cloth cover bound on tightly with thread, with the label ‘this arrow is poisoned’. Two more have the same heads, leaf-shaped with twisted tangs, one fitted in a cane shaft, the other in a pine shaft. There are two more shafts without heads, but traces of thread binding and ends shaped for socketed heads; the fletchings are lost from all of these. There is one more completely modern arrow shaft
