Mongolia
This is one of the last traditional bow and arrow workshops in Mongolia. In a large, dusty room, exquisite bows and arrows are made from ibex and reindeer horn, bamboo and even fish guts. Only around 100 sets are crafted every year; each bow takes about four months to complete. A set (bow plus four arrows) sells for about T600,000.
A case costs an additional T150,000. Call ahead or email to arrange a visit.
