Inside House-Post UnpaintedE231036-0

From card: "Though the accession papers give no clue as to which village these came from, Mr. H.W. Krieger had indicated they were from Sitka. (basis for information unknown.) In Acc. 41,185 in a letter dated 12/7/1903 Dr. Dorsey, who collected these items, says that he knows of no other similar ones which have ever been taken from Alaska, and that at that time there are not more than half a dozen left in the territory. Therefore rare. This is one of the two unpainted specimens. Carved. One of a pair. "Immense hewn slabs of cedar, handsomely carved. xxx in practically perfect condition, owing to the fact that they are inside house-posts, and consequently have never been exposed to the weather." (Dr. G. A. Dorsey)
