From card: "Spatula-shape with handle carved to represent a human head."End of handle appears to be carved to represent a bird, rather than a human. Side of club includes carvings of a what appears to be a whale and a bird.

From card: "Simple bow; grip wrapped in bark; sinew strung."Catalogue card calls this Salish, but older Smithsonian tag with object has it as Clallam (mispelled as Clamlam). This bow bears a variety of original numbers. One number marked on the bow itself in old ink/handwriting (and subsequently struck through) is 1142; bow is also marked "Bow. Puget Sound" in old ink/handwriting. It may be speculated that this bow may be bow Catalogue No. E1142, exchanged out of the collections to Anton Heitmuller in 1915. Heitmuller and Evans were both Washington, D.C. collectors during the same time period, and other Smithsonian pieces that went to Heitmuller are documented in the Evans collection. If the bow is indeed the former E1142, that object was collected by James G. Swan from the Makah of Neah Bay, Washingon, and entered the Smithsonian collections in 1866. Note that early Swan accession records from this era, including the one E1142 is part of, reference Puget Sound, though that has been corrected to Neah Bay in the cataloguing.
