Dance CollarE72700-0

From card: "Re-entered - mistake."Note: This object most likely was accessioned under either Accession number 1310 or 1499, both of which consist of artifacts collected by Thomas T. Minor in 1868. Someone has pencilled Accession number 1310 on the catalogue card for this object, and object appears to match description of an object on one of Minor's lists filed in Accession 1310.Florence Sheakley, Ruth Demmert, and Virginia Oliver made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This object is either a collar or headband and features a salmon design. It is possible that this object is primarily a collar that could also be used as a headband.
