Carved bone amulet in shape of bear. Locality: "Potlatch Site", Orcas Island, Wash. Remarks: Forms pair with WSM 2412.* Note: 1-2157 & 2412 are from 2 different accessions & form a pair only because they look similar. Also, this is probably a wolf not a bear because of the long tail over the back. RA. 8/2/1994. Email from L. Phillips to Dr. Charles Nelson regarding site location (see Accn. file). It is unclear whether the "Potlatch Site" is now called the Crescent Beach Shell Mound, 45-SJ-240. *Information comes from original accession ledger.
