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 in the pendant is channel inlay. The current catalog description says the beads on the necklace are machine made. This is incorrect—they are all handmade.
