Bowhunter Scene on Hard Rubber Buttplate: Artemis?

[rcathey]

Hi all,

Just picked this up from eBay for, I think, a really great price.

Has anyone seen one before? Did some maker use these or is it a custom thing?

Thanks for looking!

Thanks, Jim! I posted this from my phone...it’s a lot easier to share a link than a picture haha.

Goddess of the hunt either the Greek Artemis or Roman Diana both usually depicted with bow and arrows. My semi-informed guess. Tom
