Sioux Pony Bow, Arrow, and Quiver Set

Sinew backed pony bow showing much patina with original string and a small drop. Having large beads and remnants of a feather. Also three arrows, one with steel trade point and two wood pointed game arrows. This warrior was extremely accomplished in both battle and raids. The arrow quiver is beaded on each end with eight rows of beads that form a colofrul geometric pattern. But, it is the central area of the arrow quiver that is unique. It is divided into four panels, alternating arrows representing the number of battles fought (10) and inverted 'U's' for pony stealing raids (8), with eight more of each in the other two panels. Faint orange horseshoes on the sides of black ones have an unknown meaning, possibly coups without successful theft. Ex. Curtmore, ex. Floyd Rilter.
