ne hai costruito uno per caso?

io è un po che ci penso ma l'idea di tirarmi i sassi sopra i metacarpi mi frena non poco

China, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
A special type of Chinese composite bow, sometimes referred to as a “monkey bow.” This type of bow
is smaller than the Manchu-style bow, with short ears and no string bridges on the shoulders . These bows often are hinged at the center to make them collapsible and are
frequently used for shooting pellets. This example has a metal hinge at the center of the leather-covered
grip and decorative appliqués on the birch-bark-covered back. The short tip is cut out on two sides to
hold the string loop; the cutout area is covered with shagreen. On the front of the tip is a “monkey
face” painted in black and red. The string is of bamboo with a center section of plant fiber connected
to a cotton pocket for holding pellets. The bow is 125.3 cm long, 3.5 cm wide at midlimb, and 1.0 cm
thick at midlimb; the string is 114.3 cm long.
