Label TextThe quiver stiffener was a strong, straight tool that sat inside the soft leather quiver to prevent the quiver from losing its shape. A successful hunt was key to surviving an Arctic winter and the stiffener kept the quiver open and upright, giving hunters quick accessibility to arrows.ProvenanceGeorge Terasaki, New York City
