Notes
FROM CARD: "PAINTED MOSTLY RED AND BLUE."The accession record lists a group of Sitka carvings as part of this accession. This object may be one of those pieces, possibly the one described as "man standing on bear head with a balancing stick in each hand", and thus possibly Tlingit rather than Haida?
