Reminds me of the Holmgaard/Mollegabet prehistoric bows from circa 15000 BC.

...or one from the Andaman Islands. It looks somewhat asymetric. :)

Or end on the right side broken?
It could also look a little like this one: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/inde ... pic=8941.0 (second and third picture from top) It looks as if it might have rigid siyahs? Is there a picure from the side?
Actually think it's siberian, but cant find the original post now.
If it breaks you get to keep both parts.

Those ones from arround 5000 and not 15000.

This one looking very close to Mollegabet. Very nice!

Clearly see one lever is broken and missed.
