Really nice work, ginni! I'm going to have to make one of those for myself...
ginni
Dusan, I have no problem with that, if I look at a krimean tatar bow by comparison with a korean one, I see much more similarities than differences... And who can say how a cuman bow looks?
Dusan
It was joke Ginni. Quiver is fine.

Well, I wasnt upset Dusan! But you pointed right, is allowed to make a korean style arrow with chinese bamboo, to paint it with mughal decoration and put it into a turkichs quiver?
Well, is the benefit of our times, unless I want to make a historical faithful equipment, I am free to combine all I like from every tradition.
I am offtopic :oops:

Ginni,
Something of interest for your next quiver; most quivers I have seen with their belts or in paintings where you can see the belt clearly have the buckle or the belt hook on the side the quiver was worn. Since the quiver and arrows were the heaviest part of a bow case and quiver set, the buckle was placed close to the quiver so that you held while doing up the belt.

Some more advanced belts in Russian and Polish collections have two buckles, one at the back and one at the front. They are usually associated with sets where the bow case has a fixed position on the belt. The Qing Dynasty Manchus solve the problem by putting the bow case mount on a slider so it could be easily adjusted opposite the quiver. The need for either adaptation was to adjust for increasing or decreasing waist size or a different user.

Nice work Ginni. People have found Turkish flight arrows in Siberian quivers. We archers always like trying different things together.

Thank you Bede!

I made the belt little bit large and I should cut it. I will put the buckle on the quiver side, this is very useful when the quiver is filled with arrows.
