It is assumed that this object is the one referred to on the list in the accession file as a "wooden stove pipe attachment", identified as belonging with/on top of one of the "large carved wooden helmet[s]" in the collection. Per Eric Hollinger, this is a column of wooden hat rings (potlatch rings), or potlatch cylinder, that belongs with sculpin crest hat E74339, based on XRF testing of the paint on this object, and comparing/matching it to flecks of the same type of paint on E74339, as well as comparing the size of the two pieces for fit.
