Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit June 26-27, 2017 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 9”): The shape of the rim was achieved by pulling the clay inward and not up. This jar is in excellent condition for its age. Nothing more was said about this jar.
