DescriptionOutcurved bow of symmetrical form. The stick, stained pink and black, is shaped like a hunting bow with the wood at the middle of circular cross-section, thinned to a flat length towards each of the ends, which terminate in two notches. A hank of black horsehair, knotted at both ends, is stretched between the two notches, causing the stick to arch. The hair is bound to the stick with a narrow thong.
