content: From card: "This consists of a pocket backed with black and white cloth. The front portion is the lower leg skin of a deer (?) with the dew claws still attached. A shield is attached to the upper portion of the container which is faced with red strouding on which are beadwork designs [including butterfly]. Worked in beads is the name "Douglas." Probably a wall pocket. This may be Subarctic (N. Athapaskan?) rather than Plains, or Interior Tlingit or Eskimo."
