Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Isleta collection review visit May 2 3, 2022 (Events Record “Collection Review: Isleta Collection Review 2"): This jar was formed using the coil method. The temper used in the clay to make this jar is fine sand. The exterior is slipped red from the rim to the shoulder of the jar and there is clay exposed in a chip at the rim. The interior of this jar has some haze, implying that it may have held water and may have been used as a water jar.
