Even as the archer loves the arrow that flies, so too he loves the bow that remains constant in his hands.
~Nigerian Proverb

Such works of art...wouldn't mind having one myself. :-)
I did some archery recently and it made me want to get back into it. A quiver such as these would be nice, but it would be nicer just hanging on the wall.
