IDENTIFIED THERE BY PETER MACNAIR AS HEADDRESS MASK REPRESENTING EAGLE, CIRCA 1860.'EAGLE MASK WITH PAINTED TRAILER PROBABLY MADE BY HEILTSUK ARTIST KNOWN BY HIS ENGLISH NAME AS CAPTAIN CARPENTER. - BILL MCLENNAN, MUSEUM OF ANTHROPOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, 12 APR 1996.Clyde Tallio (Nuxalk), Ian Reid (Heiltsuk) and Karen Anderson (Nuxalk elder) of the delegation from Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Rivers Inlet communities of British Columbia made the following comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit May 20th - 24th, 2013. The teeth are small shells from the sea snail harvested at the beach. It is made from some sort of animal hide and representations of eagles are found through out. This piece is typical of artist, Captain Carpenter. The eye socket and eyebrow appear to be a mixture of northern and Heiltsuk sculpting.

The parts of the smoking set now called #E21589 were originally catalogued as three separate numbers - 21587, 21588, and 21589, for the base of the piece, the two side "boats" or canoe-shaped containers for matches and ashes, and the central cup for cigars. However, as the parts are a set and are now all glued together to form one artifact, the piece is now called #21589 only. - S. Crawford and F. Pickering 1-5-2006“Ornamental carving in wood 5 pieces attached. The center for Segars boats upon the side, one for matches and one for Segar ashes.” per White's original catalog in the NAA.On exhibit in NMNH Sant Ocean Hall. 2014 exhibit caption identifies this as a Tlingit oyster catcher sculpture.
