Description
RAMM has no information about this particular item and would welcome advice from Native North Americans as to its identification and how to appropriately care for this item beyond the standard context of museum care (e.g. smudging). Possibly a dance bustle.

Leather has been commercially tanned.

Feathers have been identified as belonging to the great horned owl, Bubo virginianus

Prior to its re-accessioning 2007 this item was wrongly catalogued as African.

This object is not on display.
