Notes

LARGE CARVED AND PAINTED BOX AND LID, SWAN, HAIDA, SKIDEGATE?Box is currently in several pieces, revealing the nails etc. used in construction. Only the front panel has carved and painted decoration, including bear motif? Lid and bottom piece have red paint. Object is marked in pencil, it appears incorrectly, as Swan box # 58. However, Swan box # 58 is Catalogue No. E89034, which is accounted for in Anthropology's collections. Object is also marked with the number 39 in black paint or ink. Speculatively, one possible catalogue number for this might be E88945? E88945 is described as a large Haida carved box from Massett, B.C., that was broken up in transportation.
