Omnogorov bow

J?r?me,
Several photographs have been published. The article in the Journal of the Society of Archer-Antiquaries had photos as well as the diagram with measurements. The bow, as I remember it, was twisted considerably.

Bede,
I wish i could read the JSAA publication.
The published photos if there had any, are no longer on this forum.

Anyone can help ?

I know that in one of the threads here I put up a diagram based on the Omnogorov bow article in the JSA-A. If I find the original drawing I will repost it.

Thank you Bede !

Here is the picture.

Thank you !
Sorry, i already had found this illustration.
I have found a picture of its reconstruction by Andrew Hall either.

J?r?me,
I am sure that I have seen other illustrations aside from the JSA-A article. I should mention that the bow is very twisted around its longitudinal axis so photographs are less helpful than the reconstructions.

This is the photo sent to me by G. Menes of the bow found in Omnogov Province, Mongolia, and dated by a Japanese Lab to the late 1700's

Thanks to Wayne Alex :D
Two years later i almost had forgot...
He says also the arrows on the picture are not related to the bow

These are the two photos Mr. Menes sent to me of the Omnogov bow find, that he took himself in the museum in Ulan Bataar, where he worked. The other was from a glossy hardback book on a Mongolin exhibit in Japan. McEwan inserted photos of his replica, instead of using these. Hope they help,
Sincerely, Wayne Alex

This is the second photo

Wayne,
Good pictures.
Without talking to McEwen, I would guess that they would not have printed well in the Journal as it was being printed in those days. The requirements for illustrations submitted with articles were restrictive because of the printing process and limited photo manipulation processes available to the Journal. Later journals have been created with better facilities for colour reproductions.
