Mask, Old Woman's Head Item Number: E89040-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
From card: ""... with white hair, moveable [movable] eyes and with Staie or labret in under lib [sic, should be lip]." Swan's descriptive catalogue."Provenience note: Swan list for this object in accession file, under #63 on list of objects collected at Skidegate, Skedans, Laskeek, and Fort Simpson, B.C. in summer 1883, identifies it as collected at Skedans, as does the Anthropology catalogue ledger book. The Fort Simpson location on the catalogue card appears to be an error.
