Elite Nubian Archers
The Nubian bow is a work of art on the canvas of war.Nubian archers from the ‘Land of the Bow’ were famed for their skills and used as mercenaries by the Ptolemaic dynasty. Archery was valued in Nubian society: their gods and rulers were often depicted with bows or archer’s thumb rings, and their warriors were buried with bows, quivers, arrows and rings. The rings allowed archers to fully draw their powerful bows, as the shaped metal ring guarded their fingers. Several types of bow were employed, including the longbow and composite bow. There were also many types of arrowhead, some of which were barbed to make them more difficult to remove from a wound.
