content: Michael K. Davis

content: Collected for USNM in 1966 by Michael Kincaid Davis. Listed in Davis ms as: Worn by women in their hair on special occasions. Combs like this made with 2 strips of metal keep shape and cling to head better than single strip. Also usually $1 more expensive than single strip. German silver used on this comb thinner than most other pieces of Plains German silver. 24 gauge metal. Lacy upper rim typical pattern for Caddo combs. Purchased from George Silverhorn of Anadarko, Oklahoma for $7.60. Made by George "Dutch" Silverhorn (Kiowa, Andadarko, Oklahoma) in 1966 specifically for this collection

Eskimo, Alaska. wood, skin membrane, string. 1 5/8 x 19 3/4 x 19 3/4 (4.1 x 50.2 x 50.2). The drum was the basic Eskimo instrument, essential for song and dance. This type - a skin stretched over a wooden hoop - was the most common. With a short heavy piece of ivory or a long slender wand, the drummer alternately struck each side of the rim, turning the drum slightly to meet each stroke. Drums came in different sizes with different tones. At times more than one drum might be used simultaneously." Illus. Fig. 189, p. 200 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.

Songs honored ancestors in the sky world, and during the Feast of the Dead gifts were burned and sent upward to them on the smoke. Shamans used drums during rituals and healing ceremonies.
