Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit April 22-24, 2015 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo, Review 1”): This jar was used as a water jar. There is damage to the slip on the shoulder which is consistent with jars used as a water jar. There are four design panels with two that are mirrored. The design may be a bird design, more specifically the tail feathers, with clouds and mountains with eyes. There is a line break between one of the design panels.
