Mat
National Museum of Natural History
E2931-0
This appears to be a cedar bark mat, rather than grass as originally catalogued. In the 1980's, Jane Walsh found a label in Charles Pickering's hand: "Sts. de Fuca - A. L. Case - Ex Ex V". If this label is correct, the mat would probably be Northwest Coast, rather than Shasta.
