Description:
NMAI recorded:
"The name and date, "IOHN TYZACKE, 1609" appears in blue beads upon the belt. This name refers to TIASHQ or TYASKS (subchief to King Phillip) who according to a quotation of Church in Hubbard's Indian Wars, was a sub-chief of King Phillip in 1676. The date on the belt possibly refers to the year of his birth."
