loon skin cap/pouch Item Number: 1927.1734 . 176460 from the The Field Museum
Citations From Vanstone (1982) Article
« A pouch, apparently made from a whole loon skin, is in such poor condition that its form cannot be determined with certainty. It is roughly rectangular in shape but narrows toward the opening which is edged with red cotton tape. There is a narrow flap and a shoulder strap of tanned moose skin. »

« Une pochette, apparemment faite à partir d’une peau de huard entière, est en si mauvaise condition que sa forme ne peut être déterminée avec certitude. Elle est grossièrement rectangulaire, mais devient plus étroite jusqu’à l’ouverture, laquelle est bordée de ruban de coton rouge. Il y a un rabat étroit et une bandoulière pour l’épaule faite de peau d’orignal tannée. »
