Acquisition notes: An attached label reads "CF 29 Feb 96 U. S. M." which is a reference to a number of purchases made by the British Museum from the United Service Museum (USM) using the Christy Fund (CF) in 1896 when the USM moved premises. This object is associated with a collection of "Esquimaux" artefacts collected by a "Capt. Vechy" that were purchased at this time. For unknown reasons the Vechy Collection was not registered at the time of purchase, eventually entering the registered collections with a Q number in 1986.
