Fungus Paint "Dek-Dok" Item Number: E130989-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
Provenience note: many objects in the Chirouse collection were catalogued as Duwamish, however that really only seems to definitively apply to Catalogue No. 130965. Accession record indicates that the collection is the "handiwork of the Snohomish, Swinomish, Lummi, Muckleshoot and Etakmur Indians on the Tulalip Reservation in Washington Territory".From card: "Found in swamps. Used to paint canoe paddles and the face."
