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”): This bowl is well used. The whole piece is burnished. It is an unusual shape and the participants were not sure if it was intentionally shaped this way. It could be a result of the potter trying to fix a broken piece. The base is flat.
