Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): This jar is similar in shape to a paint jar, but it is too large for this purpose. The birds are not any particular type of bird; they are just artistic representations of generic birds. The type of fireclouds on this jar indicate that it was likely fired with manure.
