content: As of 2010, this object appears to be missing some of its parts/incomplete. It currently consists only of a carved and painted flat wooden bird figure. Back of figure appears to be marked possibly "Sitka" and $2.00. The accession record lists a group of Sitka carvings as part of this accession. This object may be one of those pieces, possibly the one described as "man standing on bird" (though the figure of the man is not currently present). Accession record lists a price of $2.00 for that carving. Based on the Sitka locality, it is possibly Tlingit rather than Haida?
