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 description says this piece depicts an Owl kachina, but it’s an Owl kokko dancer. There is a beak-shaped hallmark on the back. The materials used are silver, jet, turquoise, mother of pearl, white mussel shell, pink mussel shell, coral, gold lip, an unknown cream-colored shell, and an unknown brown shell. The unknown brown shell is on the Owl kokko’s wings.
