Note 26 — THE TECHNICAL CULTURE OF THE ANDAMAN ISLANDERS
Reading edition
Turning to the Negritos of the Philippine Islands, although a number of bows have been described by Meyer26, the available information is not sufficient to enable us to determine what are the different types, and what is their relation one to another. Amongst the different varieties of bow used by the Negritos there is one which is very similar to the bow of the Little Andaman. It has a rounded or convex outer side, and a flattened inner side. The string loops on to a point at each end, and the string itself is formed of twisted fibre.
