content: Twenty-three wooden slats, most with V-shaped notched carved into one side. Beveled edge on ends. Goes with boat (E430623). According to Chisato Dubreuil, these are used to provide flat surface for comfort, and to keep cargo out of the water that collects on the bottom of the canoe. Made for the 1999 NMNH exhibit "Ainu: Spirit of a Northern People" using traditional Ainu materials and techniques.
