IN ADDITION, THE THREADS USED TO ATTACH THIS POUCH TO THE BELT ARE STILL IN EVIDENCE, FURTHER SUGGESTING THAT THEY BELONG TOGETHER. ARTHUR & ALAYNE WERNER (8/1984)." FROM 19TH OR EARLY 20TH CENTURY EXHIBIT LABEL WITH CARD: "201,002 A. BEADWORK POUCH OF THE IROQUOIS INDIANS (IROQUOIAN STOCK). MADE OF DEERSKIN COVERED WITH BLUE CLOTH AND ORNAMENTED WITH EUROPEAN PATTERNS IN COLORED BEADS AND FLANNEL. NEW YORK. 201,002. COLLECTED BY EMILE GRANIER."

content: As noted above, the bandolier/strap currently associated with bag E201004 seems to more properly match/belong with the bag numbered E201002? It appears this mismatch of bags and bandolier occurred as far back as the time the objects were catalogued? It is worth noting that in 1995 Cath Oberholtzer identified the bandolier/strap as stylistically James Bay Cree.

content: William J. Fisher

content: From card: ""Worn by men at dances and festivals. The Lesnoi Islanders do not wear any of these articles at present, having adopted our customs and modes.": from old cat. book (L.L.L. 1977). The Lesnoi Island Fisher is referring to is now called Woody Island, just off the coast of Kodiak Is." Illus. Fig. 191, p. 202 in Crowell, Aron, Amy F. Steffian, and Gordon L. Pullar. 2001. Looking both ways: heritage and identity of the Alutiiq people. Fairbanks, Alaska: University of Alaska Press. Identified there: Nacaq - Man's dance cap. This beaded cap was a type "worn by men at dances and festivals," according to William J. Fisher. However, he also noted that such ceremonies had been discontinued at Woody Island and most other parts of Kodiak archipelago by the time this cap was acquired in 1879-82. It is likely that this and several other beaded garments in the Fisher Collection were made at his request and never worn (Crowell 1992). The shape of the cap and the absence of a long tail in back distinguishes the Alutiiq man's style from beaded headdresses worn by women (Hunt 2000). The cap is constructed on a lattice of leather strips and the beads are typical of the late nineteenth century, including "cornaline d'Aleppo" beads with white centers and various tubular and faceted types."

content: There are two plates or trays that bear this number. There is some question as to whether 2306, which is marked on both plates, is really their catalogue number. One plate has this information pencilled on the back in old handwriting: "Siam. Used in well to do families and to carry food to temples." - F. Pickering 5-27-2005

content: Definitely misnumbered. One of the two brass plates is marked "2306" but the ledger book indicates that 2306 should be "Carving And Scraping Tools" in the MacFarlane collection, and this corresponds to E2306-0 (without the A). Therefore, 2306 is definitely the wrong number for these brass plates. However, they will retain this number for tracking purposes until the original number can be found.
