content: FROM CARD: "#2416 SLATE PIPE HAS A FIGURE WITH A 'HEAD' PROBABLY TAKEN FROM ANOTHER PIPE. GP. 2416 LABEL: "CARVED SLATE PIPE, HAIDA INDIANS, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WILKES EX EX"." Attributed to U.S. Exploring Expedition/Wilkes collection on pipe itself and on catalogue card, however Jane Walsh doubts that attribution. Object was entered into the Anthropology catalogue ledger book January 5, 1867. It may have come from the National Institute, or from the War Department, or it might be that it was collected for Spencer Baird by James G. Swan. Illus. Fig. 1, p. 40 in Wright, Robin K., 1979, "Haida Argillite Ship Pipes," American Indian Art Magazine, 5(1). Identified there as a ship-motif panel pipe with horse harnessed to stern-like central cabin.
