content: Possible exhibit props? This equipment is visible in old photos showing mannequins of Zuni women making pottery, in old U.S. National Museum exhibits. See Negative #s 9702, 30242, 42306, 42306C. See also Bureau of American Ethnology 14th Annual Report, Part 1, for 1892 - 1893, Pl. 66, after p. 546, and Smithsonian Annual Report for the year 1920, Pl. 39, after p. 634. As this painting equipment is visible in the circa 1893 photos of the original two pottery making mannequins (a third mannequin was added later to the group circa 1915 - 1920), and the original two mannequin display was made under the direction/supervision of Frank Hamilton Cushing, Cushing may possibly have been the one to acquire this painting equipment, or to have it made under his direction?
