| Summary: | Wooden spoon with a broad bowl and an effigy handle. CC: "Purchased from Rev. Glen Ridnour, 1963. This material was acquired from a Minneapolis museum, (Minneapolis Art Museum?) in 1963. The information on the original cards (see accession file) convinced Dr. Erna Gunther of the Univ. of Washington that the specimens were part of the Rasmussen Collection and had been sold from the Portland Art Museum. (We do not have the original card for this specimen)." Previously part of the Portland Art Museum's (PAM) Axel Rasmussen Collection. Axel Rasmussen worked in Alaska between 1926-1936. Rasmussen went to Alaska in the late 1920s where he was Superintendent of Schools at Wrangell. In 1937 he left Wrangall for a similar position in Skagway where he stayed until his death in 1945. His collection was donated to the Portland Art Museum in 1948. PAM sold some of the Rasmussen Collection to the St. Paul Gallery in 1958. |
