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 by knotting. Under the knot there are elements made of coiled or braided thin bast. In places, the string is reinforced with raffia. The provenance is unclear. 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.
