Wood Carving Crow Item Number: E168156-0 from the National Museum of Natural History

Notes

FROM CARD: "CUT ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO BY EHKAS. 6/14/45: REPAIRED AND RESTORED BY THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL LABORATORY, IN THE PROCESS ABOUT 2 FEET OF THE BACK END HAD TO BE CUT AWAY BECAUSE IT WAS TOO BADLY DECAYED TO PRESERVE, BUT THIS PART HAD ONLY A MINIMUM OF CARVING ON IT, MOSTLY JUST CONTINUATION OF THE FEATHERS."Similar to E168157 (see remarks for that object), this Taku Tlingit crow or raven figure appears to originate with the Taku Tlingit of the Upper Taku River area of British Columbia.
