Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): The rim on this jar shows no signs of wear. The slip paint was applied after firing, so it will wear off easily. In order to preserve the paint, the piece should be handled minimally and carefully. The jar was made for sale and not for personal, household, or ceremonial use in the community.
