Description: | Crossbow (Hunting - Bolt). An oblate-section wooden stock tapering to a narrow butt that has a flange on the under side. Profusely inlaid with hunting scenes in ivory, the style of the carvings which have some repairs in a different material, are reminiscent of the scandinavian 'entwined animal' style. The steel prod is secured by sinew cord bridles tightened by wooden wedges. The string is not the original, and the trigger mechanism is faulty. spanned by a cranequin.
