Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit December 7 and 8, 2010 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 5”): The materials used in this ring are silver and turquoise. The turquoise sets are cluster sets. The turquoise contains a lot of brown matrix. Because of the similarity in workmanship and style, it is possible that this and IAF.S650 were made by the same artist.
