Pipe2934/1

A small argillite pipe carved into the shape of a whale. The head is large with a long, closed mouth, rounded snout, and large eyes. Atop the head is the round pipe bowl. Arms extend from the back of the head, bending around the decorated, square torso. Hands grip the base of the tail, which curves up the rear of the pipe to the top, where another set of hands grip the fluke which sits just behind the tobacco chamber. A small hole is bored into the tail at the back, where another part was likely inserted at one time. There are some veins of white visible in the argillite.
