Abstract

The quiver, as part of the saadak set, was an essential companion of a nomad throughout his life. This article focuses on a particular type of birch bark quivers of the 13th-14th centuries from Klin and Adryk archaeological sites. In order to identify the external appearance, parallels are drawn with pictorial sources and quivers from other regions. In addition, modern publications on this topic are analyzed, which makes it possible to take a broader look at the use of various techniques for making birch bark quivers. The study included a graphic reconstruction.
