Ship Pipe | Argillite25.0/278

This panel pipe characteristic of the work of the mid-nineteenth century resembles the ship-motif pipes of the 1840s. The central element has lost its architectural character and has become a highly stylized decorative element pierced by the bowl of the pipe. Waves run the length of the base and a curious curly-haired dog with human arms and legs sits in the stern. Arching over the bow like a figurehead is a Yankee angel with long, curly hair, whiskers, and feathered wings. (Holm, Crooked Beak of Heaven, 1972)
