Chip It's the Arabian desert. Have you seen bows etched that way?
 Do you think bows are 8000 years old?
Zuma

Hawkdancer:
More like 10k or 12k years, possibly, more!  I would agree with the capture loop and the kill dogs leased tight - the tracking dogs would be loose.  It doesn't really look. Like an arrow, more like another leash!

Chippintuff:
I have seen art displaying bows burved like that. i don't know how they kept the strings from slipping off when drawing, but it looks like a possible design, might even be good. Somebody should try it. It looks strongly opposite of recurve to me, something like a lot of compounds these days.

Zuma:
Hawk, please pass along any documentation you may have, This has pursed my interest ???

Its also neat how it looks like they tried to paint in the markings of the dogs. Could we possibly ID the breed bassed of that? Obviously they prefered male dogs.
