Description
This is a historically-inspired quiver in the distinctive shape that was common for centuries across the middle and far east for traditional horseback archery. The use of rivets instead of stitching, and a simplified construction that foregoes the faux-pocket on the front, offers buyers a lower price point without having to compromise on beauty or functionality.
Features:
– The quiver is made from 8-oz veg-tan leather, with the designs carved and tooled entirely by hand. The layers of leather are first fused together with durable contact cement, and then anchored in place with rivets.
– The base color is done with alcohol-based dye that is both vibrant and waterproof (other colors available upon request), and the designs are gilded with artist-quality acrylics.
– The dimensions are 18″ L x 9.5″ W. (46 x 24 cm)
– To hold the arrows snug while riding, the interior of the quiver has a folded length of wool cloth.
– The attachment system is made from straps of 7-oz latigo and solid brass fittings. It is designed to hang from a belt, with two attachment points, hanging on the right side of the body with the arrows pointing to the rear. It comes with a removable strap that can hold the lower end of the quiver to the wearer’s thigh, for which I will require the wearer’s thigh circumference at the time of purchase. (Please include that measurement in the buyer’s note.) It does not come with a belt, though one could be commissioned to match.
Customization options:
– By default it is made to hang on the right side of the body; for a left-side quiver, simply request it in the buyer’s note.
– Quivers can be dyed in almost any color of the rainbow, at no extra cost; if you would like a different color, you can request it in the buyer’s note. Exceptions are: (1) white or other very pale pastel colors, which are possible, but since they must be dyed instead of painted, they are not guaranteed to be as durable, and (2) very precise color-matching. If you have an existing costume that you are purchasing the quiver for, you can show me pictures and I will do my best, but dyes are finicky and I cannot guarantee an exact match.
– If you have your own pattern you would like tooled on the quiver, contact me for a quote. A completely unadorned quiver starts at $150, and the price increases with the complexity of the design, up to ~$320. (For an example of maximum complexity, see the Iznik quiver).
