Excerpt from Descriptive Notes on Certain Implements, Weapons, &C., From Graham Island, Queen Charlotte Islands, B. C
The method of preparing the lip for the reception of these large labrets was as follows - At a very early age, the under lip of the female child was pierced with a tiny hole, 1 and a small pin of bone or metal with a head on it was inserted in the orifice from the inside. As the child increased in years, these pins were gradually exchanged for ones of larger size, until on attaining womanhood, the pin was generally discarded and a small labret proper was inserted in the hole; this again being exchanged as years passed on for one of a larger size, until on middle age being attained, it became possible to insert labrets of huge size. This is a custom which has now fallen into disuse. It will be understood from what is above stated, that a young woman could never wear a very large labret.
Two Small Dolls or Images (haida Ifwah-keet). - [nos. 1294 and These are very old and their origin is unknown. Report says they were highly prized by the ancients, but they are not known to have been used otherwise than as children's toys. They are carved in white marble. One shews a labret, the other a peculiar incision in the lower lip.
Two Carved Mountain-goat Horns (haida Nee-sang or Nee-sang-ah). - [nos. 1286 and These peculiar head ornaments were worn only by the sons of chiefs. A lock of hair above each temple was drawn tightly through the hollow of such horns and bound on the outside, which gave the horns an erect position. They were worn on festive occasions.
