On the Tudor war ship, The Mary Rose, leather discs with 24 holes were recovered. Some contained arrow shafts that had been fitted through the holes. Close to the edge of the leather discs were a series of stitch holes. Combining these finds and referring to medieval art, the conclusion is that these leather discs were the central spacer in arrow bags made for carrying and protecting arrows. It is believed that these arrow bags (quivers) were issued to every archer on the war ship. This is the same type of quiver that you could be using in no more than 1 or 2 days!
