From card: "Leather neckpiece, bone ornaments."This object is on loan to the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, from 2010 through 2027.From 2008 Anthropology Conservation Lab treatment report by Michele Austin-Dennehy: The shaman's necklace has a stiff leather covered ring with hanging pendants of bone. The neckring is a large oval stiff ring, round in section, possibly of wood covered with an inner wrapping of fabric and an outer cover of reddish tanned leather stitched with sinew. The leather is pieced to the ring with very visible overcast stitching of the sinew thread. There are three flat carved and incised pendants and twenty-two long finger like pendants are attached to the ring with sinew cordage. The largest pendant is attached just below the ring and hangs horizontally. It is attached to the neckring through a small perforation on the upper back of the carving. Two smaller rectangular pendants flank the central one. The top and bottom of each pendant has a small perforation for attachment to the neckring. The twenty two narrow tapering finger like pendants hang from sinew and replacement thread through perforations at the top of each pendant. The thread is sewn into the cloth and leather of the neckring. Some of the pendants taper to a point, others are blunt. Some curve along their length.
