FROM CARD: "MADE OF TWO FLAT PIECES OF BIRCHBARK SEPARATED AT THE SIDES WITH 1/4" THICK PIECES OF WOOD, AND BOUND INTO A FLAT POUCH OR CASE WITH STRIPS OF BRAIDED PORCUPINE QUILLS."There are incised drawings and markings on the bark on both sides of this container, including what appear to be American/European sailing ships and houses? At one time, this object had been possibly identified as part of the Wilkes/U.S. Exploring Expedition collection, but Jane Walsh doubts that attribution. Other possible sources might be the National Institute or John Varden collections, or the War Department Collection?
