The handle is curved in a slight arc, and at the end with the blade it is cut aslant and has an indentation on the face opposite the blade to provide a grip for the thumb when held in the right hand. The handle is decorated on the same face with two parallel incised lines that follow the bottom edge of the handle. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/18: Crooked knives were used for shaping wood, bone and antler. The Inuvialuit style of crooked knife has a small blade attached near the end of a curved handle. The knife is held with the fingers of one hand on the underside of the handle, and the thumb positioned on top of the blade in an indentation in the handle. The craftsman rests the underside of the blade against the object being worked, and draws the knife towards the body while using the thumb on the hand holding the tool to check the depth of the cut.

content: These ceramic pieces (E434818 - E434821) were apparently manufactured in Europe, but Bron Solyom's notes (see accession file, page 3) indicate that they were "probably obtained" in Indonesia. There is no other information about when, where, or why Dunham collected them.

Comments: Phillips and Brown picture a cup like these on Pl.66.1 (Pre-Columbian Shell Engravings from Craig Mound at Spiro, Oklahoma), but its not the same cup as these frags. Also, at least 2 vessels are represented here. 2 frags are adhered into a large lower cup portion, one is loose, from a different vessel, and has larger bi-triangular arrows than does the larger frag. These would not seem as rare as Phillips and Brown would have them since there are 2 more examples here which they did not have. Design. 448880E by Joan Gardner, conservator.

label: Notes

content: A wooden panel pipe or ship pipe. Has original Peale # label. Written on this pipe in old handwriting: "N. W. Coast Ex. Ex. by R. R. Waldron." This may mean that Richard Russell Waldron, purser, USS Vincennes, was the collector of this pipe.

content: Provenience note, in 1841 Oregon Territory encompassed the land from Russian Alaska to Spanish California and from the Pacific to the Continental Divide. The U.S. Exploring Expedition did not go to Canada, but did reach Oregon Territory in 1841, and carried out a hydrographic survey of the Columbia River from its mouth to the Cascades, as well as doing some surveying inland.They had dealings with Hudson's Bay Company staff during that time, and it is probable that the HBC is the source of a number of the Northwest Coast artifacts collected by the expedition.

Carving executed in characteristic Maori style, which differs somewhat in detail from the technique of that of the Indians of the Northwest Pacific Coast, but resembles the conventionalized bear of the Haida and Tlinkit.
