Cat.No. 12T792,U.S.N.M. Eskimo of Nakneek, Alaska. Collected by W. J. Fisher. 



Fig. 2. Fat-scraper. Ingeniously made of a broad, thin strip of the outer crust 

 of antler, wide in the middle and narrow at the ends. This strip is bent 

 in shape of a truncated cone, and one end cut, arrow-shaped, is thrust 

 through a triangular cut in the other end and tangled. Of course all this 

 was done when the horn was softened. This type is confined to Bristol 

 Bay.
