Identified there: "A woman's parka made from caribou skin, which was collected by Turner at Ft. Chimo, 1883-1884. The parka is adorned with seed beads, pewter spoons, and lead weights (presumably sourced from fishing sinkers). Turner noted that this form of ornamentation had replaced the use of walrus-ivory ornamentation on male and female parkas."
