Quiver, lg (shoulder)

Leather-wrapped wooden tube worn across back; keeps arrows accessible for archery.

A leather-wrapped wooden tube fitted with a leather strap for wearing across the back or shoulder, designed to keep arrows upright and accessible during a hunt or battle. The rigid frame prevents the arrows from breaking or tangling, and the open top allows quick draw without fumbling for individual shafts. A soldier or serious hunter carries one for sustained archery.
