Folkert's original post has three pictures, all of them combination quiver bow cases, The quiver is Attached to the bow case. This is different than a singular quiver with no attached bow case hovering over British flowers ;-) .
Here are Folkert's illustrations. The Orlat Plaque actually shows two (2) quivers attached in tandem, most likely to keep two styles or weights of arrows separate from one another.

And the artifact illustration shows a single quiver attached to the bow case. This "reconstruction" does not look accurate and shows a solid tube for the bow, perhaps some archaeologist's idea of what it should look like, BUT entirely impractical for removing or storing an eared composite bow.
