Ethiopian (?) quiver and arrows

Thank you all very much.

So it seems to be of Somali origin, which could fit to the provenance that was told to me (Ethiopia).

Colin, I bought e x a c t l y the same quiver in Tripolis from people comming from Niger, cca 7 years ago (cannoct post picture, as I have it at home and I will be there in half a year). I looked at the Grayson Collection, you are right - the quivers are very, very similar.

Some time ago I bought nice quiver from Nuer in Ethiopia. After a few years I found nearly the same in one village in Mandara in North Cameroon ... isn´t it interesting ?

Regards,
Martin
