Description: | Central section of bow two incised Chinese? characters CULT People's Republic of China bow : form : three sections * (fitting together by means of) sockets * middle section thicker (than 2 end sections)
* ends terminate in curve (like elongated buds) one longer than other * curved (gently when filled together) * (middle and one end section each have a) silver fitting * (with) heart-shape cut-out
Imperfect curve formed when these 3 sections are joined suggests that there are sections missing. Also, little strength in bow suggests it was for decoration, or ceremonial occasions, rather than practical use | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ASIA : FAR EAST : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
