FROM CARD: "A WHITTLED STICK, ROUND AND TAPERING FROM ITS MIDDLE TO BOTH ENDS. NEAR EACH END ARE HUNG THREE BUNCHES OF PUFFIN BEAKS."Ruth Demmert, Alan Zuboff, and Linda Wynne made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This rattle is made with puffin beaks, and similar objects may be made with hooves. Ruth commented that, in Kake, the design of this object is more recent. Ruth explained that in Kake, many people hid their items in caves as collectors came through, and also faced US Navy bombardment that damaged many of their materials. Alan added that similar destruction occurred in Angoon.
