label: Notes
content: This appears to be the large skunk robe displayed on a mannequin 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 in NMNH Exhibit Hall 11, Case 53, and the majority, if not all of the artifacts 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 .
