Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Parka, museum number 2-6695, described as Bird skin (cormorant ?) parka, feathers out. No hood, straight calf-length hem. Decoration of red cloth and rabbit skin (?) tassels. Depilated, red skin band around hips with gut strips; reindeer and marten (?) on cuffs. Made with Cormorant skin (?), reindeer, marten (?), tanned hide, gut, rabbit skin, woven cloth, cotton thread, sinew thread (?). According to Eskimo consultant Ronald W. Senungetuk, July 1987: "Trim is made of caribou or reindeer, sea otter, ochre dyed bird skin and leather, decorated with red wool fabric, rabbit skin tassels and red band embellished with gut strips sewn above the bottom edge; reindeer hide and marten fur on cuffs. caribou or reindeer skin band turned inside out with seal''s throat skin overlay and danglers made of unborn or newly born fawn skin. Styling is Kodiak which may have been during or after Russian regime but it may be totally traditional." References: Birket-Smith, Ethno. Studies, Copenhagen, 1941, p.124; Hatt, Arct. Anth., 1969, p. 49.
