Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Now that one has been tampered with quite a bit. Looks like someone has tried to grind away most of the belly to reduce the draw weight...

But how fortunate for us, hehe. The sinew layer on the belly seems to be fairly thick. And it shows how thin and narrow the horn layer is, as the wooden core is visible at the right too. It is probably also the wooden core that peeks through the cracks in the middle of the limb?

Looks like it has been a fine bow once.
