Hi Detlef,

Thanks for showing these items. The quiver is most interesting. It is an excellent piece of rattan weaving covered, I assume, with the skin of some animal to provide a degree of waterproofing and protection. The arrows are all in good shape. As with other cultures, I think we can assume that the different types of arrowheads reflected different purposes, as alluded to by drac2k.
