IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 160109 accession number: O.183-1879 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Wednesday 17 January 2024 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: 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 title: quiver LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Applied Arts collection: Robert Taylor creditline: Given by Robert Taylor, MA STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/160109 CATEGORIES ------ category: weapons DATING ------ creation date: 1800 - 1879 creation date earliest: 1800 creation date latest: 1879 culture: 19th Century CREATORS -------- maker: Unknown DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Diameter units: cm value: 9.5 dimension: Overall Length units: cm value: 85.5 dimension: Overall Length units: cm value: 86.5 CITATIONS -------- List of arms presented to the Fitzwilliam Museum by Robert Tayler, Esq.
