Description: | Bow, a grip has been added to the centre of the bow by attaching slips of wood covered with eleven bands of rattan. The grip is secured by a japaned metal cap and an iron band. One end of the bow is split and is reinforced with rattan binding. Part of a collection made by William Kershaw, able seaman on 'John Williams I'. Attributed to the New Hebrides but more probably from South-East Asia. There are five nicks made in the side. Formerly in the collections of the London Missionary Society. | Publisher: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/page/7d7ded6fb50d6031e2884961a200be58.html | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
