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 for personal, household, or ceremonial use in the community. The wavy rim is distinct, but serves no practical purpose; it is decorative. The design around the middle of the body of the jar is a water design (like small waves on a body of water).
