Description | With arrows 29-94-75 to 103 inc. Made from an oblong piece of rawhide, the long edges caught between two pieces of palm-leaf midrib, fastened together with split cane loops; the lower short edge is fastened to a basketwork base. For the type, cf. Frobenius and v. Wilm, Atlas Africanun VI, B1. 36, Fig. 234 (Bateke). As to other quivers and arrows of this general type, cf. Torday and Joyce, Notes ethnograpiques sur des populations du Kasai et du Kwango oriental, in Annales du Musee du Congo Belge II, fasc. 2, pp. 39-40 (Basonge); p. 147 (Batateta); pp. 181-2 (Bankutu); p. 351 (Upper Kwango to Kasai Rivers). Bateke in Atlas Africanus, loc. cit., is probably intended for Bakete (Kasai). |
