content: Illus. Pl. 5, after p. 82 in Turner, Lucien M., and Ray Hudson. 2008. An Aleutian ethnography. Fairbanks: University of Alaska Press. Identified there as a gut bag, one of the 44 containers made from seal and sea lion intestine that Turner collected in August 1879 to demonstrate a range of sewing and decorative techniques. "This bag, made by sewing together two separate four-panel sides, has seams reinforced with narrow strips of what is probably painted seal gut or bird esophagus. Tufts of brown thread have been used to decorate the panel seams. The same brown thread (and red thread, although much of this is missing) was used on the outer edges to overlay the running stitch with a kind of blanket stitch."
