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 base of this bowl is very shiny. It could be that wax was used to shine the base. There is a bead imbedded in the bowl near the rim on the outside. It is turquoise in color. It was speculated that it may also be a spot of dried paint or wax.
