This is a Korean quiver in the Museum Feabody Essex(United States).

This quiver for left hand archer?(Do your country have left hander's quiver?)

What do you think?

It is important to be sure that it hasn't been incorrectly repaired or restored in the US. These Korean quivers were military equipment and it is unlikely that left-handedness would have been tolerated.

Or that no-one's just flipped the image horizontally ...

there are a lot of left handed people, so why not a left handed quiver? some say that they are smarter :D (I'm right hand) or as daryush sad, juas a flip of that image.

From my Chinese martial arts experience, even left-handers had to wield weapons right-handed. Things like "individuality" and "left-handedness" might be overlooked in favor of adhering to a standard. :)

Dady: you are not wrong. But you would not have been at that rank (kitted with a nice quiver) in the 19th Century Korean army if you were a lefty.

Now, I'm considering that quiver was dancer's object.

There are two girl dancers(role manager of a Korean traditonal dancing drama-Sunyurak/Hangjangmu). And they are wearing quivers and bowcases.

I concentrate red color.
The dancer's costum color is blue.
(Korean military quiver's ordinary color was black.)

And, I guess they are wearing quivers and bowcases symmetry.
If it's right, the red quiver and bowcase is real image!
