content: FOUND IN THE COLLECTIONS WITHOUT A MUSEUM CATALOGUE NUMBER. GIVEN ET11450-0 FOR TRACKING PURPOSES. AN IRREGULARLY SHAPED RECTANGULAR MAT WOVEN OF HIBISCUS FIBERS. THE MAT OR KILT HAS ONE SMOOTHLY WOVEN SIDE, AND THE ROUGH FIBERS ON THE OTHER, SIMILAR TO A SHAG RUG. THIS MAT IS A RUST COLOR. THIS MAT IS IDENTICAL TO THE OTHER SHAGGY MATS IN THE WILKES/U.S. EXPLORING EXPEDITION COLLECTION. IT COULD BE WILKES/U.S. EXPLORING EXPEDITION CATALOGUE # E5097, SINCE THAT IS DESCRIBED AS A BROWN SHAGGY MAT, AND IS LACKING INVENTORY DATA. - JANE WALSH
