content: Provenance is uncertain. This database record formerly listed a locality of Chile, but there is no apparent reason to believe it is from Chile. The catalog card gives a locality of "Boca del Santiago”, with no country listed. This could refer to the Santiago River, which starts in Ecuador. The rest of this accession is from Ecuador (and the Shuar people). The catalog card also says the culture is Aguaruna (Awajún), which would be more consistent with northern Peru, on the border with Ecuador. The object is marked "Jivaro" (Shuar). It is not clear whether this was a mistake, or someone changed the identification at a later date. The NAA has documents relating to this collection, the Beatty Latin American Expedition in 1931-1933. More research is needed.
