A wood and cloth bow is composed of two vertical bamboo elements. On the left, a slender, cylindrical pole of yellow-brown bamboo features dark, raised rings where the shaft subtly undulates outwards. Beside it, a second piece is split, revealing a hollow, trough-like interior of warm tan. Both components possess a smooth, natural texture, their aged surfaces showing occasional dark brown streaks that bleed into the golden material.
