Tribal Collection Review RemarksJim Enote and Octavius Seowtewa during collection review visit April 6 and 7, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 1”): This is not a ceremonial jar. It is shaped like a water jar, but the sculpted frogs and the tadpoles are odd iconography for a water jar. The tadpoles have open mouths. There is no line break in the line around the rim. It is just a jar with unusual design elements.
