Description

Pipe with a copper bowl and a stem made of wood. The bowl has a shallow flared top, a cylindrical post and a flange at the base, with a hole that continues through to the stem. The pipe stem is curved and split 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. At the end opposite the bowl the stem is encircled in two locations with twisted sinew. A piece of hide decorated with small blue and larger white glass beads may may originally have had a pick attached to it.
