Great set of photos! Notice the sinew backed bow in the display with all of the arrows is strung backwards. There is also a super nice example of a plains lance with a nice feather whorl attached.  I've gotta go back through these. Nice stuff.   Curtis

Your right!  It is strung backwards!  Surprised I didn't notice that when I was there.  How funny.  Now that I'm looking at it, I'm wondering if it is actually strung?  Does it appear like the string is slack?  I wonder if they've done this to preserve the bow and for visual purposes...

Interesting.  I'm going to email the exhibit curator to find out...

Are you talking about the third and fourth pictures? How did you tell it was strung backwards? It looks fine to my uneducated eyes.

DC, if you look you'll see the sinew layer and it's on the back of the bow...which they have facing the wrong way.  Plains bows like this are "gull-wing" in form when strung.
