Unidentifiable Neckerchief and Amihk Nintawin Round

Posted in Whatzit? by John E. Pannell on July 23rd, 2007 at 2:35 pm

whatzit.jpgThis image of two unusual pieces was recently sent to me.   The emailer told me these were in a collection of various other items and had reason to believe that at least the neckerchief might be from Shu-Shu-Gah lodge.

I sent this to Bill Mulrenin, Blue Book editor for New York.  He was confident that these pieces did not originate with Shu-Shu-Gah lodge or any of its chapters.   Neither of us have a clue what these items are.

The neckerchief appears to be homemade to me.   However many older lodge neckerchiefs were homemade.    The three arrows and border are sewn on what appears to be a silk neckerchief.

Can anyone identify these pieces, or at least know where they originated from?   Are these OA items?
