Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): This is a small storage jar. Because of the black build-up on the exterior, it was probably used close to a fire. In the areas where the designs are not obscured, old-style ticking marks are visible.
