Bow with string made from twisted plant fibre. The bow is wide in the centre and narrows and tapers towards the outside. It is convex on the inside and slightly concave on the outside. The string is attached to the bow on one side by knotting. On the other side, the string is fixed with a kind of putty, as it was probably torn off. Beneath the knot are elements made of coiled thin raffia, which in turn also reinforces the string in some places. The provenance is unknown. The shape, size and material of the bow suggest an origin from South America. However, it has not yet been possible to make a definitive determination.
