Object description

Näsprydnad av Abaloneskal.

Dessa näsprydnader av Abaloneskal tillverkades ofta av större Abaloneskal av snäckor från Kalifornien som förts in av handlare. Dessa var mycket poulära under den historiska tiden. Förhistoriskt, när endast de tunnare och inte lika starkt färgade inhemska Abaloneskalen var tillgängliga var det inte lika vanligt att man tillverkade smycken av dessa.

Enligt generalkatalogen är detta en, näsprydnad av Haliotisskal, med proveniensen British Columbia.

Enligt litteraturen tillverkades denna typ av smycken av Abalonesnäckans skal, att döma av utseendet rör det sig också om Abalone. Om det är Haliotis-skal är detta i sådana fall mycket likt Abalone./JG

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
