3. Description.
Simple bow of hard reddish wood. Bands of gold leaf on gesso, at ends & in centre.

4. Remarks
The bow could only have been a ceremonial one. No notches for string, nor would the gesso &
gold leaf ever have carried it.

Treatment. Washed with damp sponge & sprayed gesso with solution of celluloid in amyl
acetate.
