ABSTRACT

In the Trang-Patalung hills the quiver is undecorated and made from a fairly large bamboo; in the other regions mentioned it is smaller and, among some groups, much decorated. If there is a truly Negrito type of dart-quiver, the blowpipe being a borrowed weapon, it would seem to be one that has no cover. The coverless quiver is found among the Negritos of the Trang-Patalung hills of S. Peninsular Siam, among those of the “Patani States”, of Kedah, and of Perak and of parts of Kelantan. Annandale speaks of the Negritos of Grik carrying the quiver, stoppered with leaves, upside down in the jungle to prevent the entrance of wet, and also of poisoned darts being thrust loosely into the cloth round the waist. The Negritos of the Cheka River, Pahang, who are in touch with non-Negrito groups of jungle people, have a covered quiver. Schebesta also gives descriptions of Negrito dart-quivers and darts, though they are somewhat perfunctory.
