We present a spatio-kinematical study of the planetary nebula (PN) IC 4634 which has experienced several episodes of point-symmetric ejections oriented at different directions. The nebula displays two S-shaped low-ionization arcs that are probably related to two relatively recent point-symmetric ejections, the outer S-shaped arc representing a beautiful example of a bow-shock resolved in a PN. We report here the discovery of an arc-like string of knots at larger distances from IC 4634 central star that represents a much earlier point-symmetric ejection.
