Hi Everybody

Who could help me for this crossbow or may be a stone bow with iron bow and furniture to wooden stock carved with acanthus leaf and plain
scrolls and turnings. 43" overall.
Which origin & age ?
Any comment on it will be welcome.

It looks like a Chinese stone bow (石弓--pronounced "seokgoong" in Korean). Take a look at http://bbs2.ruliweb.daum.net/gaia/do/ruliweb/default/pc/27/read?bbsId=G003&itemId=7&articleId=585538

Thank you Cornellistromp & Bluelake
I have look for similar example using in google Chinese stone bow and Italian stone bow and from those 2 country the stone bow are very similar ..
I have found more picture from 17 th and 16 th century model who are near the construction from mine so I believe that it could be from 17th or 16th century .
