Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit November 29-30, and December 1, 2016 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 7”): This rattle is handmade with traditional materials and is outdoor fired. Dolores Lewis Garcia, Lucy's daughter, was not sure what kind of animal is supposed to be depicted at the tip of the handle.
