Narrative
A note inside the box said "St. Louis World Fair. 1904 Harris" (Richardson, the collector, also referenced "Native American Heritage page 23" in connection to this.) However, since then, several experts have looked at the bowl and said it is not the work of that Bob Harris (Xi'xa'niyus), so the attribution has been removed (2013). "IN-108-67" written on inside.
