Indian Trophies at Peabody Museum

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mr. Louis H. Farlow, who for the last few winters has been collecting Indian trophies in the West, has lately presented to the Peabody Museum some valuable specimens, consisting for the most part of basket-ware obtained from the tribes in Alaska. British Columbia, and Southern California. The collection contains two specimen dancing skirts of an old tribe of Klamath Indians in Northwestern California. Both skirts are ornamented with black pinonnuts, and are woven with rawhide and grass. By far the most valuable of the specimens given by Mr. Farlow, is a very old Esquimo trinket-box about two feet long.

The Museum has also received a few objects from caves in Central America, and other Indian relics and bones from Mexico.
