Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): The catalog record calls this piece a “mountain sheep.” This should be changed to “ram.” This is a decorative piece that was most likely made for sale and not for personal, household, or ceremonial use in the community.
