Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit December 7 and 8, 2010 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 5”): The materials used are silver and turquoise. Mr. Seowtewa agreed that the carving of the turquoise stones is likely meant to represent feet.
