All the bowls have been scraped to remove the inside structural formations (Figure 71a) ...The desert tortoise is found in the lower, warm Mohavian deserts of extreme southwestern Utah, southern Nevada, and southeastern California (Connolly and Eckert, 1969). Hence the specimens collected from the Kaibab Southern Paiute and from the Gosiute were probably obtained by them in trade from other groups. Provenience: Kaibab Southern Paiute, USNM 11907, 14471, 14472, 14473, 14474, 14475. Moapa Southern Paiute: USNM 14465; Deep Creek Gosiute: USNM 14477, 14478, 14481.USNM 14475 is illustrated by Hough (1922, pl. 9, fig. 3)." Fowler and Matley (1979) p. 76

content: Although the catalog card for this item says it is from Burial 3 of House E, Ford's 1959 report on the site does not list it as from the burial and instead lists it as from the floor of the house. Therefore, this item is not considered to be funerary and the "Burial 3" attribution is believed to be an error in repetition in preparing the catalog cards.

content: E74 is a blue silk envelope marked to be for "the royal portraits and card and card form", so therefore possibly may once have held photos E4002 and E446 (E4003)?

content: 1878 to 1909

content: Gov John G. Brady

content: Mrs. Edward H. Harriman

content: From card: ""Slate box in 5 pieces; carving with totemic designs; beautifully carved." Attributed to the Haida carver Charles Edenshaw in Arts of the Raven by Duff, Holm & Reid - The Vancouver Art Gallery, June - September, 1967. Item 345. 4/17/67: some chipping all pcs., edges. 4/18/1967: loaned to Vancouver Art Gallery. 12/13/67: loan returned."

content: The Smithsonian only received 5 pieces of this box: back, top, bottom and two side panels. The front of the box was not received. Per Robin K. Wright, Burke Museum, March 3, 2011, this box is shown in a photo of Charles Edenshaw, c. 1890, in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, neg. no. 88926. Photo shows the missing carved face side of the box which has a beaver with frog in its mouth. The bear figure sitting on top of the box in the photo is in the collections of the Burke Museum. Robin K. Wright also attributes this piece to Charles Edenshaw.

content: Illus. Fig. 8, p. 18 in Wright, Robin Kathleen, Daina Augaitis, Robert Davidson, and James Hart. 2013. Charles Edenshaw. London: Black Dog Publishing. Identified there: "This chest combines the beaver and bear crests of Charles and Isabella Edenshaw. It was collected by Alaskan Governor John G. Brady sometime before 1909, when it was exhibited at the Alaska Yukon Pacific (AYP) Exposition in Seattle. The panel represents a bear with a human figure in its mouth. The chest's front panel with the beaver face that appears in the photograph [of Charles Edenshaw in the collections of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, neg. no. 88926] is now missing, and the bear figure on the top was also separated from the chest, probably after the AYP Exposition. The lid has a dogfish design flanked by two floral panels; the end panels both represent bears."

content: Notes from Robert Davidson (great-grandson of Charles Edenshaw) discussion of Edenshaw argillite chest # E274593, Feb 4, 2014, Vancouver Art Gallery, transcribed by Gail Joice, National Museum of the American Indian: "The earliest recorded Haida argillite piece is 1820. Robert estimates that NMNH chest dates from around 1880. NMNH piece is unique with the 3-D face - it could be a Grizzly bear with a bear cub in its mouth. [Has] salmon heads on either side. Edenshaw challenges symmetry by not repeating a the formline on the left salmon. Salmon forms parent of bear arm--the head is a ball joint, the void around the head is the socket. This shows the transparency of layers between natural and supernatural. Glue on the edges of the box is halibut tail skin boiled down. In the old days they used natural sponges from the beach to smooth the surface. In the 1940's they used steel wool. The polish was a mix of Vaseline and graphite. Design elements orient box: Double eye figure is always the front of the chest. A single eye is the back of the box. On the ends of the boxes there were always whimsical designs not related to the front design. On NMNH sides it shows probably a Grizzly face with teeth and nostrils. The eyes contain salmon trout and there are trout heads inside the paws. Choice of dogfish design for box lid shows the influence of [Edenshaw's] his wife Isabel's clan motif. The typical rope design of lid border was adapted from scrimshaw European design. The fish is a shark because it is always shown with one fin. A dogfish is shown with two fins. There is a salmon in the tail of the shark. The leaf designs are influenced by the florals of scrimshaw which also appear on silver engraving. Robert does not think the cone or berry is from a local plant but just copied from scrimshaw. The diagonal line in the stone at the lower right corner of the lid was identified by Davidson as a natural seam in the argillite. The softness of argillite allowed Edenshaw to be more spontaneous in design with more expressive movement than in wood carving. Argillite "carried the torch" for Haida culture during the time when Canadian law prohibited ceremonial practices and potlatches. Haida were allowed to carve argillite as a trade items when not allowed to make masks. Argillite trade followed the loss of sea otter fur as trade items."
