A dulcimer made in 1923 by J. Edward Thomas of Knott County, Kentucky. Possibly walnut; three-string, half-fretted, with four heart-shaped soundholes. The shape and the soundholes are the "Kentucky style," developed by Thomas. It can be seen in photos of Jean with a gathering of her dulcimers, and on the cover of her album "The Most Dulcimer." It appears near the bottom edge of the cover, and can be only partially seen.
An asymetrical piece of yellow plastic, cut from the top of a Mazola margarine container. It was Jean's pick of choice.
Bowman Patterson Award, from the University of Kentucky; given to Jean in a personalized presentation case. A medallion embedded in a clear Lucite block.
