Main part of Vietnamese or Laotian crossbow for comments

[Ren Ren]

The Branly Museum exhibits quite a few traditional crossbows from Indochina. By the shape of the crossbow, as well as the design of its trigger, the origin can be relatively accurately localized. The bone insert and pistol grip are characteristic of the Muong and White Tai peoples from the Thanh Hoa and Hoa Binh provinces on the border of North and Central Vietnam.
