This arrow quiver is based on the finds from the Mary Rose (sunk 1547) and also appears on 15th century illuminations. Given the design, it clearly has an older tradition.
Use can also be dated between 1300 and 1530 (central and western Europe - for England, with a margin of safety, well into the 1600s - Scots with bows even appeared during the Thirty Years War).
The design is a cloth tunnel (canvas), open at both ends and fitted with a lace in the tunnel at each end + the top of the tunnel at the end of the arrows at the feathering is bell-shaped and flared to allow it to be easily folded down around the bows to allow the archer to pull the arrows out.
