Female Dress Ornament Item Number: E14846-0 from the National Museum of Natural History

Notes

FROM CARD: "LOOKS SUBARCTIC INDIAN?"STYLE OF FLORAL BEADWORK APPEARS TO BE SUBARCTIC RATHER THAN NORTHWEST COAST.Entered in the original ledger catalog as from the War Department to the National Institute, with a locality of "NW Co Am." Most of this collection was entered into the catalog in 1866-67, but a few items evidently found at later dates were believed to be from the War Dept were so cataloged at later dates. This item is part of a series of five items entered into the catalog in 1874. A number of errors in cataloging have been found in other late entries for acquisitions received from the National Institute, and the identification of the source must be considered uncertain.
