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 are silver, jet, mother of pearl, turquoise (two types), coral, abalone, silver, and gold lip mother of pearl. The tips are made of jet, spiny oyster, and gold lip and are handmade. The previous catalog description called this piece a “one-horned kachina.” It is really a Long Horn kokko, which is “Sayadasha kokko” in the Zuni language.
