Laminated longbow that were used during the Northern dynasties *(Above) and the Tang. Such bows were frequently depicted in Northern Qi hunting scenes and reported in Tang records. The earliest longbows in China dates to the Warring States period and were made of bamboo or mulberry and were valued for their stability. Tang murals also depicted mounted Tang hunters with such long quivers strapped to the sides of their steeds.
