Wooden Food Dish Item Number: E130625-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
Provenience note: E130624 - 6 were all collected in the summer of 1888 on the cruise of the U.S. Fish Commission steamer Albatross to Alaska. The list of collections in the accession file identifies Original # 2016 (Catalogue # E130624) as collected at Yakutat Bay, Alaska. Yakutat was assumed by the Smithsonian cataloguer to also probably apply to E130625, original # 2017, however it is unclear from the accession list if that is indeed the case.
