content: Listed on catalogue card as a cedar box, which is an error. It is actually a bow, per entry in the first set of the Anthropology catalogue ledger book and also the list in the accession file. From accession file, "List of articles collected from the Indians of California and Western Nevada, in 1875 and 1876, by Stephen Powers": "19625 (108), Adih, bow made of mountain cedar, backed with deer sinew, which is fastened on with a glue made from fish bladders." Provenience note: the above is part of the list under the subheading of "Piutes, Walker Lake, Nevada."
label: Notes
content: Note: collector/donor identifies the bow as made of "mountain cedar". It may in fact possibly be made of juniper, because the name mountain cedar is sometimes given to juniper.
