PugJesus: you’ve got so many good history posts!
When’s this date from?
Thank you! I’m uncertain about the date - I’m not even sure if it’s an original or just a depiction of wooden armor of the type the Tlingit used, unfortunately. Normally I can find more info about this stuff, but some pics are too obscure - or my search skills aren’t good enough, lol.
I’ve heard of wooden armor from further north up the coast. I’ve got a memory of seeing an actual wooden helmet somewhere too, very similar to this with the narrow slit visor. I’m a bit curious as to whether it’s pre or post contact.
