	An '''arrow bag''' is a modern term used to describe the container used to transport and distribute [[medieval]] [[arrow]]s during a [[battle]]. Very commonly depicted in [[15th century]] manuscripts if a container for arrows is to appear. Depictions vary from a soft [[fabric\|textile]] bag with a soft body to a container which appears to be made of wicker with a white [[fabric\|textile]] covering. In both cases, the covering is likely to be of [[linen]], possibly [[wax]]ed.

Their appears to be a [[leather]] spacer for the holding the [[arrow]]s apart to preserve the [[feather\|fletching]]. This is also supported by the [[16th century]] [[Mary Rose]] find where such spacers have been found in situ. They appear to hold approximately two dozen a[[arrows]].
