THE CHILKAT BLANKET. EMMONS, GEORGE T. MEMOIRS, 3, 1907

Red saddlebag with five tassels, rectangular in shape with a tapered point at the bottom edge. A geometric design embroidered in the centre portion of the bag represents a “cow in the tree/bush” motif. The design itself is embroidered with brown sheep’s wool yarn. A light brown yarn is stitched around the design as a border. There are five tassels at the base of the bag each with three sections of horse hair. Around each of the tassels there is a blue, yellow and red pattern wrapped around the tassel itself. Many of the tassels are knotted. The horse hair is tied to the tassel with a red-orange piece of material. The bag also has a strap that has light brown, orange, yellow and green lines. On either side of the bag where the strap begins are three tassels each with a different coloured end (orange blue and yellow). Also attached to the tassels are several beads (black and white) and round metal discs.

Horn container. Hollow, curved section of black and gray horn with a small cork stopper in the pointed end and a large cork stopper (part b) in the large end. There are gold-toned metal studs on the larger stopper, and a black leather band decoration at the rim. A black leather thong is tied at the rim.

Goat horn container. Hollow, curved section of yellow-brown horn with a cork stopper at the pointed end and a cork plug (part b) in the large end. A narrow leather band is attached at the rim with metal studs. There's a fine incised decoration of hearts and flowers on the surface, as well as the inscription “CABECO DE VIDE / 1950”.
