A long, narrow container used for holding arrows.
About Quiver
The quiver was a cylindrical leather container, closed on one end, for holding arrows. It was slightly shorter than the arrows it held. It was strapped to the back of the archer so that both hands were free to use the bow. It was large enough to hold 20–30 arrows.
