Ex California, USA, collection formed since the late 1960s; acquired on the European art market before the late 1990s. Mongol quivers contained arrows with several types of arrowhead: poisoned arrows are known to have been used and there is a specific reference to them in the accounts of the Mongol invasion of Japan (1274 AD"). Others were fitted with incendiary material, others conceived to pierce cuirass and metallic protections, a result achieved by the powerful composite bow of the Mongols.
