Bow & ArrowsE76294-0

According to the accession record, Swan acquired 2 crabapple wood bows, with arrows, and 2 mountain yew wood bows, with arrows, from the maker, Tahahowtl or Byron, a Makah Indian of Neah Bay, Washington. These objects were catalogued as numbers E76294 - E76297.Catalogue card indicates that a bow and 2 arrows with this number were sent to the Trocadero Museum, France, July 1885.See Cat. 123 and 124 p. 196 in Faucourt, Camille. 2020. A La Conquête de l'Ouest : Collectes Amérindiennes de La Smithsonian Institution Conservées Au Musée Du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac. Paris: Réunion des musées nationaux. Entries are on a bow and 1 arrow, Musee Du Quai Branly Catalog no. 71.1885.78.434 and 71.1885.78.435, which their records identify as formerly Smithsonian no. E76294. One of the two arrows that went to the Trocadero is unaccounted for. Note that Smithsonian records only indicate that one object with number E76297 went to the Trocadero, however the Branly identifies 2 arrows, Musee Du Quai Branly Catalog no. 71.1885.78.422 and 71.1885.78.423, as formerly E76297. It is therefore possible that one of the two arrows the Branly identifies as 76297 may possibly be 76294 instead?
