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.
