Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): The toads on this jar are the natural color of a toad. It was probably meant to be a small storage jar or seed jar. It has very little wear and may have been made for sale and not of for personal, household, or ceremonial use in the community.
