The rectangular chisel point with barbs, in the Bashkir collection, is interesting. The only other one I have seen is in a collection in Korea. Have always assumed that the purpose of a chisel point is to do great damage and fall out allowing for great bleeding. The barbs would interfere with this theory. Any ideas?

Bashkir tall hats are equal to those of the Kazakhs.

This thread is fantastic! (should it be stickied?)

Those Siberian tribes bows are very elegant. Are they horn/sinew or all wood?

Dusan · Post by **Dusan** » Fri Mar 19, 2010 9:26 pm

Dusan, I think these photos are from the American Museum of Natural History, Division of Anthropology. They have databases of their collections including photographs available here:
