Rooted in centuries of tradition, the Ottoman Turkish bow was a crucial element of Ottoman military strategy, known for its power and portability. Historically constructed from a composite of wood, horn, and sinew, these bows provided exceptional accuracy and range. Metbow’s contemporary version honours this rich heritage, showcasing the artistry and skill of Ottoman bowyers who created not only functional but also beautifully decorated bows, often featured in museum collections today.

The Metbow Ottoman Fibreglass Composite Turkish Bow also features exquisite Tezhip design, a traditional hand-painted Ottoman art form frequently seen on historical Turkish bows. Tezhip, meaning “illumination” in Turkish, involves intricate, ornate patterns and gold leaf detailing that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire. This decorative technique enhances the bow’s visual appeal and pays tribute to the masterful craftsmanship of Ottoman artisans. Each bow is meticulously adorned with these traditional designs, merging historical elegance with modern functionality.
