The other two sides are light brown with similar painted designs, very faint (faded?). Thick tassels at bottom corners. 2 more tassels on one side, with 2 thick cords between them.

She acquired it during a visit to a Tuareg "resettlement/refugee camp" near Tera, Niger on the Mali-Niger border, in 1974. References: Prussin, African Nomadic Architecture 1995, p 83 for a similar Hassaniya type and construction. References: Gabus, Au Sahara. References: Creyaufmuller, W.

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=120 , retrieved 11-4-2021; see web page for additional information: Hat, Yup'ik. Each Yup'ik region has distinctive traditional designs for its clothing. This Kuskokwim River boy's cap is made from the white-spotted skins of arctic ground squirrels, with a weasel (ermine) "tail." It is ornamented with ... strands of red yarn, and red-dyed tassels of squirrel skin. South of the Yukon River, parkas were usually made without hoods. For warmth, people wore fur hats made of arctic ground squirrel, caribou, fox, mink, wolf, or otter. Yup'ik Elder Annie Blue of Togiak said: "Our ancestors used various kinds of skins for hats to keep their heads warm in the winter ... I have seen people wearing uivqurrat [circular skin caps] made out of squirrel and mink skins. The hats were decorated." Just like parkas and boots, hat styles varied considerably between villages, from circular caps to heavy hoods that were hung with tails and tassels. Zagoskin noted that the most highly decorated Kuskokwim hats were for ceremonial occasions. On Nunivak Island, men and boys wore fur hats during the Messenger Feast and Bladder Festival.

content: Coiled basket vessel with slightly conical convex lid. Around the body of the basket, there are rectangular brown (possibly faded green?) decorations, each occurring approx. 15 cm apart and measuring approx. 6 x 2 cm. Damage and unraveling on lid near tip.

content: Typed note inside basket says: "38. Lidded Storage Basket. Tribe: Alaskan Eskimo - Nunivak Island. Design: six faded 2" x 1" dark bars around body. Size: 10"h., 15 1/2 " dia. 9 1/2" opening. Circa: 1900. Condition: basket - good-: the conical knob of the lid is missing as a result of the Curtis household Cocker Spaniel "Peanuts" biting it off. This basket is similar to those pictured on page 78 of [Curtis] Vol. 20 text." See: Plate "Baskets, Nunivak", facing p. 78, in The North American Indian (1907-1930) v.20, The Alaskan Eskimo. The Nunivak. The Eskimo of Hooper Bay. The Eskimo of King Island. The Eskimo of Little Diomede Island. The Eskimo of Cape Prince of Wales. The Kotzebue Eskimo. The Noatak. The Kobuk.
