content: Whole dried salmon with short loop of rope tied to the tail. According to Bill Fitzhugh, the loop was used to hang the fish while it was drying and to store it hanging from the rafters of the house (chise). Made for the 1999 NMNH exhibit "Ainu: Spirit of a Northern People". Chisato Dubreuil notes that this is a real salmon that was chemically treated for exhibit (though there is no record of how exactly it was treated).
