label: Notes
content: This object has an old tag which says "Patagonian Group; Cinch; 4". This is presumably a reference to 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, finally, NMNH Hall 11, case 53. 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 . This cinch possibly may be part of Tehuelche saddle E178409?
