"Bow (Sioux) This wooden bow was collected by the historian Francis Parkman in 1846 during his travels in the west. The bow is shown in its relaxed state. If it was strung tight, it would bend in the opposite direction with the dark side out. Brass tacks have been used for decoration along with inlaid glass or shell beads on the front. The bow came to the Peabody Museum in 1876. .."
