Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): This jar was made for sale and not personal, household, or ceremonial use in the community. The surface appears to have been antiqued before painting the designs. The slip paint for the designs was applied after firing, so it will wear off easily. In order to preserve the paint, the piece should be handled minimally and carefully.

The Indian Arts Research Center, in collaboration with Native American community scholars, strives to present accurate collections records. Records may be updated as new information becomes available and is reviewed with the Native American community having cultural affinity to particular items.
