Chief Anotklosh wears a woven Chilkat blanket made from cedar bark and mountain goat wool which had been dyed yellow, black and blue-green. He holds a carved wooden bird rattle and wears a European military-style cap. The northern Tlingit carried on a lively trade with merchant vessels and bartered for large numbers of imported goods.
