content: ONE BUNDLE OF FIBER WAS FOUND WITH OLD TAG #165119, IDENTIFIED AS GRASS. ONE BUNDLE OF BLACK WOOL WAS FOUND WITH OLD TAG #165119, IDENTIFIED AS "3 SPINDLES" THOUGH NO SPINDLES WERE PRESENT. 2 LARGE SLIPPER-LIKE OBJECTS, PIECED TOGETHER FROM DIFFERENT TYPES/COLORS OF FUR, WERE FOUND WITH OLD TAGS #165119. THESE FUR ARTIFACTS HAVE A FUR IMAGE OF A LLAMA OR ALPACA PIECED IN AS DECORATION ON TOP OF EACH. WHILE THESE ARTIFACTS ARE CLEARLY LABELLED 165119 AND APPEAR TO BE PART OF THE SAFFORD COLLECTION, NO CATALOGUE CARDS HAVE BEEN FOUND MATCHING THEIR DESCRIPTIONS. THEREFORE THE DECISION WAS MADE TO KEEP THEM AS #165119 IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM TOGETHER WITH THE REST OF THE SAFFORD COLLECTION. - F. PICKERING 6-6-2002
