content: Lists filed with Accession No. 51116, which actually describe objects in Accession 51115, include a list of objects acquired at Teller Reindeer Station, Port Clarence, Alaska in 1897. One of the objects on this list is # 1255, identified as "Lapps - womens head dress", which refers to this object. What this appears to be is the wooden "horn"/inner form for the top/peak of crown of a Sami woman's horn hat. Photos of the type of hat this is used with can be viewed online, # NFSA.1403, from the Norsk Folkemuseum - Norwegian Museum of Cultural History: https://digitaltmuseum.no/011023293724/lue (retrieved, 26 June 2019). Photos of similar hat horns can be found on the same website, for example # NFSA.0574, https://digitaltmuseum.no/011023292882/luehorn (retrieved, 26 June 2019).
