notes: label: Notes
content: From card: "Made by a Creek [Muskogee] Indian in Georgia for General [Edmund Pendleton] Gaines. Beaded on velvet in floral designs adopted from Europeans. Metal spangles also are used in the decoration. See 315440, a similar cap in moose hair embroidery from Canada." On the back of the old museum tag with the artifact it has been attributed as Iroquois by "Stone 7-1-75." Glengarry-style beaded cap. Appears to be Northeast Indian (probably Iroquois?) style of manufacture, rather than Southeast/Creek. - Deborah Harding 7-12-2007. Dolores Elliott, 2009, concurs with this opinion.
