Pipes were made and used on the Northwest Coast from the period of White contact when the custom of smoking tobacco was introduced. They were made of many materials and in many forms. This small stone pipe utilizes the form of a frog, with the pipe bowl in his back and a hole for the stem under his chin. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)

Cat: Model totem pole of red cedar on wooden base in Tlingit or Tsmshian style. Upper figure is bird (eagle?) clutching a human in it talons . Formline designs decorate the wings; the predominant color is blue which is badly faded. The beak has broken off and has been mended. The human figure lies horizontally, facing outward, being clutched by its left side. The next figure is a bear face with ears and forepaws depicted. Again the predominant color is blue (faded) with red in the eye sockets. Below the bear is another animal face (seal?) with the same coloring as the bear. This face is on a cylindrical shape which is part of the pole. The pole has been nailed to a square wooden base 2 cm. high x 12.2 cm. wide x 10 cm deep. The pole is not stable and the paint is badly faced. Made for sale in the early 20th century. The pole is carved from a half cylinder form, with the back being partially hollowed out.

The dye is yellow and purple.
