Indian Basket Item Number: E72697-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
72683, 72684, 72696 and 72697 are identified as Swan original # 45. Swan's list in the accession file identifies # 45 as "3 Indian baskets from Sitka, and wooden canoe bailer." Anthropology catalogue ledger book lists no object # 72698, though it is identified as a basket on the group catalogue card for 72696 - 8, all three of which are listed as Sitka. Catalogue card for 72696 - 8 lists culture as Makah, but the source of that ID is unknown. If Sitka is correct, baskets 72696 and 72697 may instead be Tlingit?
