C238A and B are two halves of one object - a large, thick, bilobed tablet-shaped concave slab of wood, split into two halves vertically down the middle, fragmentary at the bottom edge, with remains of Northwest Coast painted designs in red and black on incurving surface. These may be totem pole parts or related?

98886 WRONG NUMBER NECKLACE OF RED BEADS AND WHITE SHELL TUBULAR BEADS; TAG READS ""BRITISH COLUMBIA 98886"".

Accession file identifies original #99 as 1 fish line made of spruce roots, and two Halibut hooks from Klawark [i.e Klawock] village. The fish line was given catalogue # E20888 and the two halibut hooks were given # E20889. Apparently during cataloguing, only E20888 was identified in the ledger book and catalogue card as Tlingit from Klawock; this information was not listed, apparently in an oversight, for the halibut hooks. The culture/locality information for E20889 has now been been changed to match E20888.
