Originally catalogued as carved in the form of a seal, but reidentified as representing a sea otter by Stephen Loring in 2007. Otters typically float on their backs with hands together like this.
FROM CARD: "UNFINISHED WITH SPOONS, DOLLS & C OF A CHILD."This unfinished basket, identified as Hutsnuwu Tlingit, is Swan original # 68. Ledger book indicates that Catalogue #s E20906, E20907, and E20908 are also original #68. Accession record entry indicates the basket # E20847 contained these toy spoons, dolls, and dish (E20906 - 8), therefore all these objects are being stored together.
Provenience note: List in accession file (this object is # 6 on list) appears to attribute this to the Hutsnuwu Tlingit of Angoon. List identifies this object as a "Stone for sharpening carving knives ... used to give first edge to knives."
The Anthropology catalogue ledger book identified this pipe as carved in the form of a bear holding a bird in its mouth. The word "bird" was mistranscribed as "birch", on the typed catalogue card.
