Frank Waskey
Donates Artifacts
To Museum
Another contributor to the Uni
versity Museum, Mr. Frank H.
W ,s \cy '! Fur una Ledge, Alaska,
sent three distinctive Eskimo arti
1 facts recently. Mr. Waskey, a
| prominent Alaskan pioneer and
first Delegate to Congress from
the Territory, is a prospector and
also deals in fossils and native
craft.
The first and most interesting
article received was a media lab
ile! of fossil ivory from Napakaya
hakamute in Hooper Bay. This
flat object, about two and a half
inches long, and an inc fiwide, and
a half inch thick, was made to be
placed in the cleft of the jaw be
low the lower lip. The flash was
cut transversely and the sharp
edge of the lab e was pushed out
from inside the mouth, thus pre
senting a more ferocious appear
ance to an enemy. Mr. Waskey
gathered information on this ob
ject from twy widely separated
villages and believes that the lab
ret was worn only before antici
pated or actual combat.
Of unusual interest is a pottery
lamp found in the Hooper Bay
area this summer. The lamp is in
[ the shape of a saucer about six
[inches wide and has gently slop -
ing sides up to an inch. It was
used for burning whale oil. and is
unique in that it is made of pure
clay, whereas other lamps found
in that region were made of a
| mixture of clay, lava, seal blood
and hair.
A nephrite chisel from Makor
yuk, Xunivak Island, probably
used for cutting longiturinal inci
sions along walrus tusks from the
large end to the point and from
the surface to the core, was also
received. After the strips of ivory
were cut and wedged loose, they
: were made into barbed prongs
.which were then attached to the
j end of a shaft to be used in spear
ing geese. The fact that the ne
phrite cshisel, jade stone from the
; Xobuk, north of Kotzebue, was
i
found so far south is a clear indi
cation of trade amongst the Eski
mos.
