content: Entered in the orginal ledger catalog as from the War Department with the location given as Missouri R. Valley. Pectoral made of complete bear paw with claws intact. Length: 20". Card found with specimen: "This dress ornament of bear claws was found assigned a T-number (T-10160). A penciled label on the back of the paw reads '462446 Sioux'. This number is incorrect. The specimen was originally found in the Eskimo collection, later moved to the Plains area. A number on the right strip read '2465', which corresponds to a dress ornament of bear's claws, collected by the War Dept from the Missouri River Valley in 1867. Although no dimensions or description is given, the specimen was found missing by the inventory team. Therefore, unless further information is found to prove otherwise, we may asume that this claw 'ornament' is the missing 2465. Lee Miller. 8/9/84"
