Necklace1927.254

A dentalium necklace. On the catalogue card a note from the donor is the only description, The beads are of the type used by the Hudson Bay Company in their trading days on the coast. I had to string them with thread, not having any old sinew ornettle-fibre but the other material was collected by my father from the Indians. My father and I have had at various times similar necklaces both from the Northern Kwakiutl and the Haida. The shell is quite common on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The necklace consists of twenty dentalium shells, two blue trade beads and eighteen small red glass beads.; Good

Pipe1927.252

Broken fragment of a panel pipe bearing nonsensical creatures. The uppermost creature has a large toothy mouth, a rudimentary fin and its blowhole forms the pipe bowl, its fish-like body extends towards the mouthpiece. Below another creature, with unusual rounded eyes and a long thin tongue, appears to lack a body. The feathered back and long fingered arms and legs of a broken creature extends along the base of the pipe fragment. This pipe could possibly be the work of the Haida artist known as Long Fingers due to this characteristic of his style.(Gillian Crowther).; Good
