content: From card: "Made in bird cage stitch. Original catalogue has no listing of 204224a; nor does the Houtz accession papers mention any Quinault baskets. This is probably not a Houtz collection specimen. See note on cat. card # 204224."
label: Notes
content: As of 2009, there are 2 baskets bearing the number 204224: E204224 and E204224A, and the cultural identifications for each appear unclear. The original Anthropology catalogue ledger book entry lists only one object for this number: original # 8, identified as a Quinault wallet (i.e. bag). E204224 is a flat basketry bag. Catalogue card now identifies it as Wasco, not Quinault, though it does not seem typical Wasco style. An old tag on the object also identifies it as possibly Chehalis. It is listed in the database under all three cultural identifications of Wasco, Quinault and Chehalis pending further study. E204224A is a cylindrical basketry bag. Catalogue card identifies it as Quinault, though it is not typical Quinault style (and seems more Columbia River style, possibly Wasco?) It is currently listed in the database under both cultural identifications of Quinault and Wasco pending further study.
