PICKERING 6-29-1999ROBIN WRIGHT, BURKE MUSEUM, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, FEELS TOTEM POLE MODEL T24468 MAY GO WITH THIS HOUSE MODEL. SHE HAS IDENTIFIED TOTEM POLE MODEL AS HAIDA STYLE.A photo of what appears to be this house model and totem pole model ET24468 on display together at the Smithsonian circa 1879 (photo may actually date more specifically to 1882 - early 1885) is in the collections of the Smithsonian Institution Archives: Photo ID 2962 or MNH-2962, Smithsonian Institution Archives, Record Unit 95, Box 41, Folder: 4, https://siarchives.si.edu/collections/siris_sic_8263 . House model with totem pole in front is on back right of photo in front of house front.Per Robin Wright, Professor and Curator Emerita, University of Washington, 2018, ET14554 and ET24468 may be James Swan collection pieces, based on the similarity of the ET24468 model pole to another model pole, No. E74748, that is linked to Swan and carved by Johnny Kit Elswa, a copy of a chief's frontal pole in Tanu.In James G. Swan correspondence in accession record No. 5260, Swan talks about sending two Haida house models. However, only one was catalogued, # E23547. It is possible house model ET14554/ET24468 or house model ET24565 may be from this accession?

Box is catalogued as containing E68011-7. Cards for those objects describe them as having been "in shaman's box." Stenciled on one side of this box are the Spanish words "Colorado Maduro," i.e. "dark brown," which is the term used on cigar boxes for a particular shade of cigar wrapper. One end of the box has the stenciled letters for part of a word visible: "Ro". It seems that some or all of this box was made from a cigar box?

Accession record identifies as Chilkaht Alaska. It is unclear if Chilkaht is a cultural identification, a place, or both.

From card: "The bag is made of the foot skin of a bird; top of buckskin. Has embroidered beadwork the word "Sitka". Possibly tourist piece."
