Appears to be a halibut hook and line? Carved arm of hook is carved in the form of a halibut. Note: Cultural and locality identification in Anthropology catalogue card and ledger book lists this as Scowallis [sic] Tribe of Haida Indians, Prince of Wales Archipelago. It may be speculated that "Scowallis Tribe" is actually [Chief] Skowal's [a.k.a. Skowl] tribe, i.e. Kasaan or Howkan?
