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 in this ring are silver and turquoise. The current catalog description states that the snakes have die work on them. They are actually hand stamped.
