content: Necklace with rough black seed carry cord with gourd dish pendant. Pendant has 3 seed dangles, one ending with a red feather. Other feathers apparently missing. Dr. Newton says this was obtained from and made by Yako, a 22 y/o male. Unused. Some ambiguity of classification. The "neck" cord is probably too small to be a neckace, possibly a wrist gourd, although the gourd is large to be an ornmaental dish, but too small to be a utilitarian gourd dish. Compare with 1975-160. Cordage is nylon fishing line and 2z tucum.caroa. Beads: small brown/black wrinkled seeds, Job's Tears, and and small red/black ormosia seed. Feathers, macaw. Half a crescentia gourd with a design in red brown paint? Priice paid: 5 crs. Purchased with 1975-156-161.
