Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit February 16 and 17, 2011 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 6”): None of the wires are soldered; they are only bent. The round pieces of turquoise are somewhat polished, but the rectangular pieces are fairly rough.
