label: Notes
content: Original copy of Anthropology catalogue ledger book identifies this as"Implt. [implement] for dressing the hair of unmarried woman". "Unmarried" was mistranscribed in second copy of ledger book as "a married", and subsequently this "hair bow" was also listed as for a married woman on the catalogue card, but that is an error.
