The Salukat is a quiver made of a long segment of bamboo with a partition at the lower part and a long sharp protrusion at the tip.[1] The arrow used are notfletched. In some cases thenock was provided by whipping two slivers of wood on opposite sides of the tail end of the shaft in such a way that they projected a short distance beyond it. TheMentawai people generally put poison on the tips of their arrows, using a mixture ofomai (Antiaris toxicaria),lombok (Capsicum annisum),tuba (Derris elliptica) andbaglai (Alpinia galanga). The arrow is known aslogui and the anterior section of the foreshaft alone asbakulu.[2]
