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 in this necklace are silver and turquoise. The technique used is cluster setting. The artist named on the catalog card, Buddy Hattie, usually worked with his wife, Anita, on jewelry, so she probably helped make this necklace. Their son, Derek, does channel inlay. They have two daughters who make jewelry; one of them, Jennie Vincent, does needlepoint jewelry.
The Indian Arts Research Center, in collaboration with Native American community scholars, strives to present accurate collections records. Records may be updated as new information becomes available and is reviewed with the Native American community having cultural affinity to particular items. Please write to iarc@sarsf.org if you have questions or concerns related to the documentation.
