Description
Bone net gauge for making fish net.* 6/30/94:gauge split in half, lengthwise, along diameter of hole in center. String (non-ethnographic) wound around both pieces was removed because (1) it was not curation-quality, and (2) it was putting the pieces in jeopardy by causing them to scrape against each other. Both pieces appear to have been glued together at some point (L.Phillps). Broken into two pieces, with one perforation. (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
