Blackburn notes there on p. 51, footnote 5, that "[Collector Alexander Wells] Chase uses the term 'Klamath' to refer generally to the Yurok, Hupa, and Tolowa peoples on or near the lower Klamath River, not the Klamath Indians of southern Oregon." What appears to be this object is shown in an old Chase photo illustrated as Figure 8, p. 44 in this same article.
