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 cluster sets are in a smooth bezel. Because of the similarity in workmanship and style, it is possible that this and IAF.S652, IAF.S754, and IAF.S783 were made by the same artist.
