Button Item Number: 1927.1661 from the MAA: University of Cambridge
Bone and ivory buttons made for white people, decorated with dots and circles6 oval buttons with one bird shaped toggle/button, all decorated with dots in circle designs. In addition there are two slightly larger oval buttons, the dot designs arranged in fields, which are also labeled with this number. One of these has 'Eskimo N.E Asia' written on the rear in pencil.
Label says, Makah, Neah Bay , although the objects look like Arctic material and have been boxed as such. This piece does not resemble anything I' ve seen from that region and looks typically Arctic (A. Herle, 1992); Found: Northwest Washington State.
