LACE (COOPER HEWITT MUSEUM, NEW YORK, NY, USA, 1982)

Model drying rack with three parts: two wooden sticks with short metal spikes protruding from the bottom end, attached to each other near the top with sinew strung through holes bored through the centre of each stick (a); wooden stick with a short metal spike protruding from one end (b); short, flat, slightly convex piece of wood that tapers towards either end (c).

Shell and beaver tooth knives were probably the aboriginal prototypes of the crooked knife of historic times. Knives with long handles and upward-curved blades meant to be drawn toward the carver were used over a good part of North America. The version of this man's knife common to the Northwest Coast typically has a short, double-edged blade with a gradually increasing curve mounted on the underside of a slim handle.
