Excerpt from Catalogue of the Ethnological Exhibit From the United States National Museum: From the Report of the Madrid Commission, 1892 Specimens of arrows from North America - This collection comprises the kinds used by the aborigines of North America. By beginning the examination of the specimens contained in this case on the left, they may be studied in their order from Labrador (including West Green land) on the east and Alaska on the west, across the continent, to Mexico, above the Aztec territory. Plate armor. - Composed of three layers of ivory plates 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. Every plate contains 6 holes, through which passes a thong made of deer hide, which fastens them together. These plates are arranged like scales, in order to afford better protection in war against the enemy's missiles. The lower part contains 43 plates, and the middle 38. The upper row is composed of 2 sections One of 10 plates, protecting the breast, and the other of 8 plates, protecting the upper part of the back. The armor is kept in place by leather straps. This armor greatly resembles that formerly used in Japan, which fact has given rise to the supposition that the primitive inhabitants or aborigines of Alaska had some relations or connection with the Japanese. Length of the armor when opened, 3 feet 8 inches. Eskimo of Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, 1892. 153491. Collected by H. R. Thornton.
