From card: "These are the skin with the hair of the underside of the lower jaw (chin) of the bear. Some have the tongue bone bound inside, and are folded over. All are decorated on the edge with cloth binding or a string of seed beads. Some have both and a small wool tassel. They are kept out of religious respect and reverence for the bear."
