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 wings are modeled and the tail is painted. This owl does not have the typical outline of the face, instead the feather design begins at the eyes.
