content: There are currently two baskets bearing this catalogue number. The first (tagged as # 1 of 2) is a larger basket containing acorns, which seems to be correct as it matches the catalogue description. There is a late 19th/early 20th century exhibit label stored with the basket with the acorns; text of label follows: "Acorns and Basket. - Acorns of Quercus Gambelii [Gambel oak] in a rush basket, in which the Indians collect and store them. From the McCloud River Indians, California, 1876. Collected by Livingston Stone." The second basket (tagged as # 2 of 2) is a smaller basket containing some leaves. The older tag with it lists of the number as 21719?, indicating some doubt as to whether the catalogue number is correct. Since the basket does not contain acorns, the number is indeed questionable. It still may be part of Accession 4457 though, as it resembles other baskets in this collection used to store botanical material. See also ET14108.
