Portion of a stone pipe.* Fide donor GTE: Portion (stem) of tubular stone pipe dug up across Fraser near Lytton. Pipes are in general use. The oldest type was evidently tubular, but those of a later period, and those used today, are of the ordinary type of bowl and stem. They are made of a steatite or some transparent soapstone, which in some the fire can be seen through the wall of the bowl. The stem is often ornamented with lead inlaid which in some cases is used to strengthen the stem as the material is brittle. A plain hollow wood stem is used. *Information is from the original accession ledger.
Red; a section of a steatite pipe stem.
