REPLACEMENT CARD: INFORMATION COPIED FROM LEDGER,AUGUST,1983. "MODELED BY ANTHRO. LAB."No catalog card found in card fileAnthropology Catalogue ledger book indicates this is a model of artifact E20614, modeled by the Anthropology Laboratory for exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, 1904. The ledger lists the name of C.R. Luscombe, who is presumably the model maker. One of the two catalogue cards for E20614 also lists this model as "made by C. R. Luscombe at Anthropological Laboratory".

From card: "Carved. Duck-shaped."One of these objects has the remains of a glued on label on the bottom. One may speculate that the label may have been a label from the Sheldon Jackson Insitute? Such labels appear on other artifacts in this collection. See E260339 for an example of an object with an extant label of this type, the text of which says: "Sheldon Jackson Institute, An Industrial Training School for Indian Boys and Girls, Sitka, Alaska."

From card: "Green gray basalt, smoothly finished."
