content: This skirt was found in the collections labeled with an old tag as "19286". However "19286" is supposed to be a basket, according to the object name listed on the catalog card, the ledger book, and on the collector's list in the accession file. The basket is in our collections and was illustrated in the USNM Report, 1902, pl. 66. Therefore it was decided to assign a new catalog number to the skirt. See the card for 19286, which gives the following description of the skirt: "Women's skirt of the Hupa Indians. (Athapaskan Stock). Made of a whole deerskin doubled and cut into long fringe at the bottom. Many of the strands are strung with pine terminating in brass cartridge cases, beads and various shells. At the bottom of the garment the strands are covered with a wrapping to form a rude [sic] pattern in black and yellow. At the upper edge of the garment is an inserted fringe."
