Carving, Thunder Bird Item Number: E74758-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
Swan original tag with artifact and accession record identifies this as "Thunder Bird." Entry is garbled in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book and thus hard to read and so was mistranscribed on the catalogue card as "Thunder Reiad." - F. Pickering 9-28-2006Listed on page 45 in "The Exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1915", in section "Arts of the Northwest Coast Tribes (Tools)".
