Description

Pipe with a bowl and pipe stem both made of wood (?). The bowl is made in two pieces that are held together by a wrapping of braided sinew. The pipe stem is in two longitudinal sections that have been bound together with a thong made of hide, which also wraps around a flange at the base of the bowl, fastening it to the stem. A pick made of bone or antler is attached to the pipe by a hide thong. This is identified as a 'Boy's Tobacco Pipe' in the MacFarlane Collection catalogue.
