Description

Carved argillite panel pipe with squares of abalone inlay. The pipe bowl is designed in the shape of a human head, facing straight forward. The figure's hands reaching back to the muzzle of a dog, standing inside the main part of the pipe. A duck-like bird is carved standing on the stem, facing the opposite direction, with its beak down. Tobacco leaves are carved along the stem sides; a patch-like pattern of squares cover the dog. The top and lower back edge of the upright section have had their drill holes closed off with small wooden plugs.
