Many many thanks WR!

E-mail sent, and I really hope they have some extra info on the bow :)

Seems they're not interested in answering :(

Anyway, I found the book "The peoples of Siberia" by Levin Potapov, 1964. There's a small drawing of just such a bow, on page 519, under "The Khants and Mansi". Definitely useful!
