Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit May 11-13, 2016 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 6”): The black paint appears to have been applied thinly and looks brown in several areas. This could be because there was not enough wild spinach in the paint mixture or that some of the paint rubbed off from being handled often.
According to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit February 26-27, 2019 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 12”): Vases likely came into production as a tourist trade item. The vase form may be an influence from other cultures. Vases are still being made and used today at Acoma in both traditional natural and commercial materials.
