Shirley Kendall and Florence Sheakley, both elders, made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This object is possibly from Klukwan, and is made entirely of fur. The wide hip area means to us that it was made for a female. The edge of the garment was particularly cut in a certain way so as not to cut the hairs of the fur, so no edging was necessary on the garment.

FROM CARD: "CHIEFS RATTLE. CARVED WOOD DESIGN: THE RUSSIAN DOUBLE HEADED EAGLE, PAINTED GREEN AND BLACK."

Identified as Sitka on the catalogue card, but Anthropology catalogue ledger book does not list that locality for this object, only for E60107.

FROM CARD: "EX. LEIDEN MUS. MAY '99"The object name for catalog numbers e20736-20742 was previously recorded as: "Carving Wooden Dish Frog". This is due to the fact that the objects within this range share a single catalog card, where the description (carving wooden dish frog) only corresponds to the first object (e20734) in the series. When the catalog information was entered into the database, the object name was recorded as the same for each, despite the fact that each catalog number is representative of different, separate objects. At some point, a new catalog card was created for E20742. The other records were updated when digital images were attached to the catalog records.Listed on page 47 in "The Exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1915", in section "Arts of the Northwest Coast Tribes (Tools)".
