Uhanbọ
Description
Uhanbọ (bows) are usually used in conjunction with Ifẹnmwẹ and mainly served as weapons of war and hunting. They were made by the Igbesanmwan. Uhanbọ are simpler in form than Ẹkpede, made only from a single curved piece of wood, often cane, with string stretched between the two ends.
