content: Speculatively, is possible the larger piece of guanaco hide could have been used as bedding for cradle E178406A? That cradle was used in the old Tehuelche mannequin group, "Family Group of the Tehuelche Indians". Various versions of this group were on display for a number of years, including finally in NMNH Exhibit Hall 11, Case 53, and the majority, if not all of the artifacts in the case/on the mannequins came from the John Bell Hatcher collections. You can see a photo of one version online: Smithsonian Institution Archives, Acc. 12-492, Image No. SIA2012-2807, https://siarchives.si.edu/collections/siris_arc_367782 . See also Neg. # 43595H, print filed in Hall 11 exhibit book, case 53.
