359E; ORNAMENT OF CARVED WOODEN ANIMAL HEAD TIED TO CIRCULAR BRANCH WITH HAIR ATTACHED; TLINGIT, CHILKAT--G.T. EMMONS, COLLECTOR.Information below on American Museum of Natural History records, etc. was provided by Allen Wardwell, 1988. This object has a number E359 written on it. This is an American Museum of Natural History number and indicates the object comes from George Thornton Emmons collection, #359, at the American Museum. According to Allen Wardwell, this object was collected by Emmons between 1884 and 1893 and acquired by the AMNH in 1893. Over the years, a number of objects have left the AMNH collection in various ways, and the AMNH has no records that the piece was lent or traded from the collection. This object does not seem to match any of the catalogued items listed as having been donated to the Smithsonian by the AMNH or by George Thornton Emmons. Emmons' catalogue entry for # 359 at the AMNH reads: "359 Wooden, ornamental portion of Doctor's dance headdress - "Take-cheany" from Kluck-qwan, "Chilkhart-qwan," the property of a Doctor, the carved wooden head, represents a land otter. Ornamentally painted in black and red."

Two old museum tags with the artifact identify this canoe as "Nootka type." One of the two tags actually states "Canoe. Nootka Type. Boas." The second tag also notes "Parts missing."

It is assumed that this object is the one referred to on the list in the accession file as a "wooden stove pipe attachment", identified as belonging with/on top of one of the "large carved wooden helmet[s]" in the collection. Per Eric Hollinger, this is a column of wooden hat rings (potlatch rings), or potlatch cylinder, that belongs with sculpin crest hat E74339, based on XRF testing of the paint on this object, and comparing/matching it to flecks of the same type of paint on E74339, as well as comparing the size of the two pieces for fit.

Appears to be a carved wooden version of a three-legged cast iron bellied kettle or cook pot with two 7-shaped handle ears. As of 2012, one of the three legs is missing.
