    Description

    This handcrafted Bow and Arrow set was purchased from a Navajo man at the Gallup Flea Market in 2005.
    The gentleman and his wife explaned to me that it was to be hung above the doorway entrance to your house or bedroom, to function as a symbol for protection.
    It is a beautiful example of a well crafted wall art hanging that can add a unique and personal touch to your home, business, or man cave.
    The bow measures about 18 inches long and 4.5 inches wide.
    It is constructed from bent wood, rabbit fur, sinew, and tree bark.
    The arrows are 13 inches long, and appear to be crafted from
    bird feathers,
    wooden dowels, sinew, and hand chipped stones.
