content: Strip of sinew formerly on exhibit in NHB Hall 9, case 17, "Buffalo, The Staff of Life." Exhibit label: "Thread of shredded sinew was used for sewing tipi covers, clothing, and other articles." Originally, this T number was applied only to the sinew from case 17, but in 2004 this number has been extended to cover also the unnumbered coil of sinew thread formerly on exhibit in NHB Hall 9, case 21, "Quillwork and Beadwork." Exhibit label for sinew coil: "Sinew thread used in quill embroidery." Both pieces are possibly exhibit props, but may have been provided by John C. Ewers and thus may be of native manufacture (Plains Indian?)
