content: Catalogue card calls this a "farming implement", however this seems to be a mistranscription from the ledger book, which calls it a "tanning implement", which seems more accurate. Ledger also indicates that at one time there were three (or two?) objects with this number. Second copy of ledger book also indicates that at least one object with this number was exchanged with the Trocadero Museum July 1885. This resembles a beaming tool for processing hides. See E19881.

content: See Cat. 53 p. 177 in Faucourt, Camille. 2020. A La Conquête de l'Ouest : Collectes Amérindiennes de La Smithsonian Institution Conservées Au Musée Du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac. Paris: Réunion des musées nationaux. Entry is on Musee Du Quai Branly Catalog no. 71.1885.78.167, which their records identify as formerly Smithsonian no. E11881. This is an error in the book. 11881 is not the correct former Smithsonian number for this object. This piece is instead formerly number11891, and the online record for it in the Branly database lists it correctly.
