Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit June 10 and 11, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 2”): The lack of wear beneath the rim of the lip suggests that this jar has not been used. If a drumhead cover had ever been put on it and cinched, there would be wear under the rim. Since it was not used, it has not been consecrated and therefore has no access, publication, handling, or storage restrictions.
