content: From card: "Illus. in USNM Rept. 1895, Pl. 56, Fig. 5; p. 840. Walrus with single line down back, with three lines extending out on each side. Back flippers touching at tips. Wooden peg set into belly." As of 2004, there are two walrus figures with this number. The first one is the one illustrated in the USNM 1895 Annual Report referenced above, which has concentric circle designs incised on its sides. This figure was formerly on exhibit in NHB Hall 9, case 6, and was also formerly ET15371. The second figure is the one described above as having a peg set into its belly (which may actually belong with # E72902 rather than 72904 ???). - F. Pickering 12-16-2004
