content: From card 361742: "Bow good specimen; arrows acculturated [sic]. Bow and five arrows, probably of New England Ash, three just sharpened sticks, and two heavy blunt ends, with bark on, are probably Am. Indian, possibly from the N.E. Woodlands. Feathers on the arrows are of the Eastern U.S. Turkey. 5 arrows found, bow found. Refer to card 361,742-A for the rest of arrows." From second card 361742A: "These ten arrows do not appear to belong with the bow 361,742. They are of a type that is not known otherwise from the Am. Indian, and does not tie in elsewhere, probably means they are something that was made up in late times, not following traditional forms, or even useable construction. Shafts are heavy in diameter, and enlarge to an even heavier 8 inches at the forend where the points are made of a heavy iron nail, which is bound with a 2 inch long wrapping of heavy wire. Which makes them so heavy in the point that they would be quite impractical for effective use. They surely do not belong with the other ones originally on this cat. card. - R.A. Elder 9/1963 there were not 20 arrows, only 15 alltogether."

content: 10 arrows (these are the arrows described on card 361742-A). Appear to be throwing darts as they have no nocks and are *maybe* a game set because only one arrow has white fletchings.

content: From card: "Buckskin, oval shape, open at top, closed with draw-string, fringed at sides and floral embroidered designs in porcupine quill."

content: Accession records indicate that this collection was sent from Rosebud Agency, SD, with the note that it was collected about "60 years ago" (i.e. ca, 1880) by Koerper. However, Rosebud wasn't established until 1889, to manage people moved from Spotted Tail Agency in NW Nebraska – which is where Koerper was 1875-1880. Therefore, Spotted Tail is the probably the original collecting locale.

content: Some or all of the "porcupine quills" in the floral embroidery appear to be moose hair. Compare to Huron (Wendat) moose hair embroidered bags. For a similar bag see # M6837 in the McCord Museum http://collections.musee-mccord.qc.ca/fr/collection/artefacts/M6837 .

content: The donor, Dr. Kaplan, says that these manillas (referring to all of the manillas in this accession, E434824 - 434849) were collected while she was carrying out research on Benin bronze casting in Benin City, Nigeria between 1984 and 1999. She purchased them from the master caster, Osaize Omodamwen, with whom she was working. The “manillas” were sold by traders from the “north” of Nigeria as scrap metal to the casters. A few of them are true “manilla” which were metal bracelets cast in Liverpool and were still being used as currency in Nigeria up into the 1960s. Others are bracelets and anklets, once worn by either men or women as ritual or prestige items and which may have also functioned as currency.
