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”): This is a depiction of a Basikypba (Wide Sleeve) dancer. The blue panel on his kilt would normally be decorated with painted, embroidered, or appliquéd designs, but they are missing in this depiction.
