FROM CARD: "ILLUS. IN NM REPORT 1884, PL. VI, FIGS. 9, 10, P. 306; USNM AR 1888, FIG. 185-6, AND PL. 36, FIG. 180, P. 314; REPORT, 1902, FIG. 155; P. 426. TAG ON ARTIFACT SAYS SALISH, FRASER RIVER."See USNM AR for 1902, p. 426, where basket is identified as "procured from Sitka [sic], Alaska Indians by J.J. McLean, to which place it had doubtless drifted in trade from the Fraser River (British Columbia, Canada) Region." While the basket was actually catalogued as from "Hoonia" (i.e. Hoonah), not Sitka, the identification of the basket as Fraser River Salish type seems correct and it has been stored with that collection.

FEATHER PLUME.

From card: "Flexible vertical cylinder, sloping slightly toward the flat base, plain twined weaving, decorated in vertical rows of concentric rectangles, and animal figure around top edge; braided rim with shallow loops is partly broken. Obtained about 1900. Reference: Mason, p. 234, fig. 15, pl. 164." Per Barbara Brotherton, Seattle Art Museum, 11-6-2007, the concentric rectangles in the design represent puppy pens and the animal figures with upcurved tails near the pens depict dogs.
