Tribal Collection Review RemarksOctavius Seowtewa during collection review visit Nov. 16 and 17, 2009 (Events Record “Collection Review: Zuni Tribe, Review 3”): This piece was likely made for sale and not for personal, household, or ceremonial use in the community. It is an unusual piece because of the polished red slip and the unconventional use of the designs. The black paint on it was made from a substance deriving from coal deposits.
