FROM CARD: "LOOKS SUBARCTIC INDIAN?"STYLE OF FLORAL BEADWORK APPEARS TO BE SUBARCTIC RATHER THAN NORTHWEST COAST?Entered in the original ledger catalog as from the War Department to the National Institute, with a locality of "NW Co Am." Most of this collection was entered into the catalog in 1866-67, but a few items evidently found at later dates were believed to be from the War Dept were so cataloged at later dates. This item is part of a series of five items entered into the catalog in 1874. A number of errors in cataloging have been found in other late entries for acquisitions received from the National Institute, and the identification of the source must be considered uncertain.

FROM CARD: "PAINTED BY MR. WALTERS. BOX? OF A CHIEFTAINESS. (TSIMSIAN)."

From card: "Dentalium necklace with black beads."From typed card with artifact: "Dentalium ornament. This specimen was found assigned a t-number (T-1226). The original number '711' appears on the fourth row of dentalium to the right of the end sewn with blue print cloth, sixth shell from the top. This appears to be an original # rather than a cat. # because cat. 711 corresponds to a N.W. Coast ear pendant collected by Gibbs. The specimen was found within the Plains Indian collection. Due to the combination of dentallium with the strings of solid black beads, the object is probably not Plains, but Pacific coastal (Salish, etc..). Though identification is not possible at present, this piece should be taken from the Plains until a proper tribal designation can be found. 7/23/84 Lee Miller."
