Item Number: 10-95
17th-18th century. Wood, six board construction with wood pegged
joints. 38 1/4 length by 8 5/8
width. The interior with vertical rails
securing removable dividers which provide for 28 arrows separately stacked to
protect the fletching. Both interior
ends with small indentations confirming its use for war arrows. Dry, the interior fairly fresh with abrasions
and old dust/soiling. The underside of
the lid with a circle and a cipher in a circle.
The exterior with deep age patina and medium encrustation over soiling,
lid cracked and superficial insect damage.
Joints dry, storage abrasions and a 2 1/2 x 1/2 contemporary repair to
one edge. Used to transport arrows to
the battle field. Only example we have
encountered as the survival rate for these must be extremely small.
Layaway is available for this item.
