content: Native cotton band woven with a lateral diamond pattern. Diamonds are quite small. Six tassels at each end. Tassel strings strung with small, dark seeds. Anchor seed is large and gray. Little threads are tied in some strings. Dr. Newton says: made for use in the Krikati Wu?tu ceremony of 1973? For Cu?kui, a 14 y/o female. Received at ceremony end by Kunyanser, a 22 y/o female. Obtained from same. Made by Amyokokrit, 36 y/o female. Amyokokrit made the sling for Juvenal, a 27 y/o Pukobye male, but he could not pay, so she sold it to Cu?kui, who was in the Kroahu ceremonial group as the Filha da Kroahu, a female mascot for a male group. Used. Damage: 4 pendant bead strands broken by bugs, repair made to keep beads--in each case original strand is left long and repair strand of cotton covered polyester thread is cut short. Warp and weft: 2s cotton. Pendants: probably substituted for glass beads for purpose of sale. Commercial thread. Tassels: 2s cotton. Beads: small brown, black wrinkled, Job's Tears. Price paid: 40 crs.

content: Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact https://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=56 , retrieved 12-29-2021; see web page for additional information: Needle case, Inupiaq. A northern Iñupiaq style of needle case, complete with all of its parts and ornaments. Bone or iron needles were tucked into the leather strip and pulled inside the tube for safe-keeping. At the ends of the leather fringes a woman attached her husband's small "starter" labrets, or lip ornaments, that he began wearing at the age of puberty. He wore larger labrets as he grew up. In Norton Sound and north along the Alaskan coast, Iñupiaq women used open-ended, tubular needle cases made of bone, metal, or walrus ivory. This example, collected in the 1870s by Lucien Turner, has an engraved copper tube and a complete set of sewing implements attached to a fringed sealskin strap. A hook (shown here) or loop was attached as a belt fastener. Needles were stuck into the strap, which was drawn into the tube to cover them. Small sewing tools such as thimbles, thimble holders, boot-sole creasers, awls and small whetstones were attached to the ends of the needle case strap. Women also hung pendants of small animal and human carvings (possibly charms or amulets), animal canine teeth, and their husbands' starter labrets. South of Bering Strait, in the Norton Sound Iñupiaq, Yup'ik, Unangan, and Sugpiaq regions, a different style of sewing kit was customary. There, women stored their needles in tubular cases with wooden stoppers at the ends These tubes were tucked inside roll-up sewing bags, along with the thimbles and other small sewing implements that in the north were attached directly to the needle case strap.
