Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit June 26-27, 2017 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 9”): The pattern could perhaps be derived from basketry designs. Juana Concho’s granddaughters are Irene Castillo and Sarah Martinez, who are also potters. We do not have their work in our collection. Claudia Mitchell noted that the design looks like a Hohokam design.
