Thanks for all your input, it is much appreciated, and I am pleased that I have sparked a lively topic.
I have to agree that I also considered the quiver and arrows to be from Sudan. There are similar examples in the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford England,
which were obtained by John Petherick in the Sudan in 1858 and shipped back to England in 1859.

I am an MA student at Lincoln University(UK) and have just been given this object to work on and conserve. So I am doing some research on it and trying to find out as much about it as possible.
So all input is very much appreciated.
