content: Wig appears to be from one of the mannequins used in the old National Museum of Natural History Exhibit Hall 11, Case 33, "The Cocopa Desert Dwellers." This was a so-called mannequin "life group" of full size figures. The case was damaged in a 1965 fire in the exhibit hall and the exhibit was dismantled. Objects from the case and these mannequin wigs were subsequently stored with the Cocopa Ethnology collections. The wigs are #s ET12873 - ET12880.
