Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit December 7 and 8, 2010 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 5”): The materials used are silver and turquoise. The technique used is channel inlay. The previous catalog description called this piece a “buckle.” It is really a hair hair slide that is missing the fastening piece.
