Sorry, but I have strong objections. I´ve never sees these stitched leathers on persian bows. (The linked bows are called scythians - but are in no way similar to scytian finds anyway...)

For your impression, the IndoPersian bow might be a little bit too late - but a very nice bow! (I own one ;-) ) )
