content: FOUND IN THE COLLECTIONS WITHOUT A MUSEUM CATALOGUE NUMBER. GIVEN # ET666-0 FOR TRACKING PURPOSES. JANE WALSH FEELS THAT THIS OBJECT MAY WELL BE CATALOGUE # E2555 (PEALE # 318), WHICH WOULD MAKE IT A WILKES/U.S. EXPLORING EXPEDITION PIECE. JANE NOTES THAT IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER NORTHWEST COAST CEDAR BARK BLANKETS OR CAPES WHICH STILL HAVE WILKES CATALOGUE NUMBERS. PEALE # 315 - 318 ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE PEALE CATALOGUE AS "DRESSES WORN BY THE WOMEN OF THE CLASSET [MAKAH] TRIBE OF NATIVES, NORTH WEST COAST OF AMERICA, THEY ARE MADE OF BARK."
