content: FROM CARD: "WOMAN'S SKIRT OF THE HUPA INDIANS (ATHAPASCAN STOCK). MADE OF A WHOLE DEERSKIN, DOUBLED AND CUT INTO LONG, FINE FRINGE. MANY OF THE STRANDS ARE STRUNG WITH PINON SEED, PERFORATED AND SET ON, SOME STRAIGHT AND SOME DIAGONALLY. THE ENDS OF THESE STRANDS ARE COVERED WITH A FALSE PLAIT IN SPLIT ROOT, AND ON THE ENDS FINE SEEDS ARE HUNG. CALIFORNIA. 19,300. COLLECTED BY LIVINGSTON STONE." THOUGH THE ORIGINAL CATALOGUE IDENTIFIES CATALOGUE NO. 19300 AS MATERIAL FOR MAKING BASKETS, NO SUCH MATERIAL WAS FOUND DURING THE 1970'S INVENTORY. ALSO, THERE IS A WOMAN'S INNER (FRONT) SKIRT OR APRON WITH THIS CATALOGUE NUMBER. THE PRESENCE OF A 19TH/EARLY 20TH CENTURY EXHIBIT LABEL DESCRIBING THIS SKIRT AS CATALOGUE NO. 19300, AS WELL AS THE OLD NUMBERING/LABELLING OF THE SKIRT ITSELF AS 19300 INDICATES THAT THE SKIRT HAS BEEN CALLED 19300 FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AND THEREFORE IT SEEMS MOST LOGICAL TO CONTINUE USING THAT NUMBER FOR IT. - F.
