content: Attributed to U.S. Exploring Expedition/Wilkes collection on the catalogue card, however Jane Walsh doubts that attribution as no Peale number has been identified for it. Other objects in the same number series are also attributed to the U.S. War Department, but the probable California provenance seems to argue for it being from Wilkes rather than the War Department. It appears to be some kind of ornament and may perhaps be part of a headdress?
