Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit May 9-11, 2017 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo Review 8”): The bird in the design on this bowl is a double headed thunder bird. It looks similar to those found on IAF.1149 and IAF.1206. It could be that all three were either made or painted by the same artist or family.
