content: Written on bow itself in old handwriting: "Shoshone", with "Ute" written over it. "210" and "2[?]0". Very very speculatively, this bow might possibly have been part of the U.S. Exploring Expedition collections? The Peale catalogue has this entry for Peale/field numbers 206 to 212 - "Bows and arrows used by the natives of the north west coast of America." Peale numbers 187 to 205 are also listed as "Bows and arrows used by the natives of California". A vague "Northwest Coast" was typically how Wilkes pieces from the West coast area, including California and Oregon/Washington, were attributed by the museum cataloguer, as from the "Northwest Coast of North America."
