FROM CARD: "PLAIN, UNDECORATED."
May be Sitka Tlingit?: it is identified as collected in Sitka; and also see accession history re the basket part of this accession being from the "Sitka-Kwahn."
Provenience note: collection apparently purchased or collected by McLean in Sitka and vicinity circa 1884.In 2023, Paz Nunez-Regueiro, Head of the Americas collection at the Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac indicated that an object with this number is in their collections, now as catalog number 71.1885.78.258. Anthropology does not have a record of when/how this artifact left the collections. The Branly identifies it as part of an 1885 accession presumably to the Trocadero Museum.
Box is catalogued as containing E68011-7. Cards for those objects describe them as having been "in shaman's box." Stenciled on one side of this box are the Spanish words "Colorado Maduro," i.e. "dark brown," which is the term used on cigar boxes for a particular shade of cigar wrapper. One end of the box has the stenciled letters for part of a word visible: "Ro". It seems that some or all of this box was made from a cigar box?
