Context

This object was originally catalogued as Californian, but was reclassified after being seen by Sandra Newman (basketry expert, 1983) and Travis Hudson (curator of Santa Barbara museum, 1984). Although it has been definitely identified as not being Californian it does not appear to be characteristically Northwest Coast either. It has been left in this category because I cannot accurately assert an origin (G.Crowther). The original European tribal names and, where possible, current tribal names have both been given in separate GLT fields.
