content: Smithsonian Archives distribution files indicate a necklace with this number was transferred to the Trocadero Museum, France, in 1883. Smithsonian records indicate this object was exchanged with the Trocadero Museum. See Cat. 54 p. 177 in Faucourt, Camille. 2020. A La Conquête de l'Ouest : Collectes Amérindiennes de La Smithsonian Institution Conservées Au Musée Du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac. Paris: Réunion des musées nationaux. Entry is for a necklace, Musee du Quai Branly catalog no. 71.1885.78.272, which their records identify as former Smithsonian no. 11998. Current object in Anthropology collections is possibly misnumbered?, since it is made of bird bones and the catalogue indicates it should be hoofs. The number on it also seems to have been refreshed/changed. The necklace at the Branly includes hoofs, which fits the catalogue description better. One possibility is that the current object bearing this number might be 11988, another option is 11994? See also record E11996.
