content: From card: "The quiver consists of a cased river otter skin [with fur on]. There is a thong at the rear portion of the hide to suspend the quiver. The tail is allowed to hang down for decorative purposes. There are four haliotis shell disks sewn to the upper portion of the tail. The lower portion of the tail has a beadwork panel attached to it and to the end of the tail are attached woven braided fibers which terminate in small pieces of shell. These quivers are said to have been highly prized and were often presented as gifts or presents. See A. L. Kroeber's "Handbook of the Indians of California.""
