Leather bow holster designed to fit modern Ming style bows.
This basic Ming Dynasty Bow Holster, is aninterpretation of an illustration of a Gong Du (弓䪅), or bow holster, in the Ming Dynasty manuscript, She Shi (射史 八卷) - History of Archery in eight Volumes by Cheng Zongqiu (程宗猷).
I took liberty from the traditional Korean bow holster and chose a tapered gusset so that your bow can sit tight for the horse, or loose for quick access. A practical, yet historically inspired design, ideal for foot and mounted archery.
The holster is closed by hand with a simple running stitch, as seen on antique Qing bow holsters, and comes with simple braided cotton rope straps that can be adjusted to set the angle that the bow hangs.
Includes a Ming style brass belt hook inspired by the same bow holster illustration.
Open bottom holster.
Available with no decoration, or a choice of a stitched decoration.
Adjustable balance with two knotted straps.
High quality ,1.5mm-2mm, leather.
