Object description

Birds. Among Yotkan antiquities are included a good many miniature figures; such representing birds are particularly frequent. Pl. XVII, 12-15. Figs 25 a.-b- Many of these are provided with a small foot-plate to be able to stand upright. Others are pierced for threading on a string. In the latter case they may be supposed to have adorned some sort of plain necklace.

The birds are variously represented, some perched in a restful pose with their vings folded, others evidently in the act of flying.

Miniature birds are numerously represented also in other collections. (Stein 1897, pls. XLV, XLVI. Hoernle 1899, pl. XIX. Hoernle 1902, pl. VII. Catalogue of Ryojun Museum, pl. LXXI.) Montell 1936, p. 188./Is

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.
