<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4532231, member: 8267"]I have seen only the photos so far, not the thing in person. It is a confusing combination of old and new looking pieces. The stone arrowheads are OK, and it is interesting that there is the blunt tipped bird arrow included. But older arrows could have come from anywhere. The pierced leather elements do appear to have some age, as you folks have said. But I would expect the red to be red wool flannel, and it would be unusual to have escaped moth damage over the years. The fringe looks more like commercial leather, too clean, and regular, like it was cut by machine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will try to go look at it.
