Indian Quiver

[Hartung]

Some days ago, I came across this description of an Indian quiver that I’ve never seen before.

“ Indian Quivers were used by the various Indian tribes of North America. They are carried under the bow arm with the fletches of the arrows pointing forward. They are very fast to draw from, they don't get hung up in dense forests, they are silent and don't spook game. They also have a soft "holster flap" to keep arrows from getting wet. ”

Does anyone have pics of this Indian quiver?

Sounds like a plains quiver.  Although you might get some arguments about which arm to sling it under.  Google "plains quiver" and you should get plenty of results.  There are some first class cratsmen on this site that make plains quivers, I am sure that one will post a pic soon.

If you wish to see  real  Native American quivers, I would suggest that you acquire Steve Allely and Jim Hamm's books,  Encyclopedia of Native American Bows, Arrows and Quivers , Volumes 1 and 2.

There were many styles, reflecting the different specific needs and local materials available to the various indigenous peoples of this continent.
