Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit February 17 and 18, 2010 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 4”): The catalog card says this is a frog fetish bolo. It may be a bear. Since it is unclear what animal it is, the record should be changed to describe it simply as an “animal.” The materials used are silver and turquoise matrix.
