284 THE ESKIMO ABOUT BERING STRAIT [ETH. ANN. 18 
site of an old village near St Michael. It is slightly different in pat- 
tern from either the stone or the metal bowls. It is very old, ante- 
dating the arrival of the Russians on the shore of Norton sound. 
A wooden-stem pipe from Cape Prince of Wales (figure 95) has a 
small brass bowl. Pipes of this shape are occasionally seen between 
Norton sound and Kotzebue sound. 
Figure 1, plate LXXxIx, represents an ivory-stem pipe with a 
stone bowl which was obtained at St Michael. The stem is diamond- 
shape in cross section, and has its surface elaborately etched. On 
one side a series of umiaks and kaiaks are pursuing a walrus; on the 
other side are reindeer that have just crossed a river, and a man in a 
kaiak has thrown a spear into the back of the last one as it emerges 
from the water, while at the farther end a man is shooting another with 
an arrow. On the remainder of the surface is a series of conventional 
designs. 
Another handsomely etched ivory pipestem (figure 3, plate LXXXIx) 
was obtained at Norton sound. On the side shown in the illustration 
are various hunting scenes in which are whales, walrus, and seals, and

aman is shooting with a bow and arrow just in front of a kashim in 
which people are dancing to the music of a drum. 
The handsomely etched pipestem shown in plate LXXXIx, 2, was 
obtained in Kotzebne sound by Lieutenant Stoney. It has the raven 
totem marks near the mouthpiece, and a variety of hunting and other 
scenes of Eskimo life, besides various conventional designs, over its 
surface. Another handsome pipe (figure 4, plate LXXXIX) was also 
obtained at the same place by Lieutenant Stoney. The leaden bowl 
has an old clock-wheel inlaid in the top of the flaring rim. Like the 
preceding, the stem has the raven totem mark near the mouthpiece, 
and is elaborately etched with scenes from the life of the people, among 
which are the hunting and trapping of game and fish, dancing in the 
kashim, and playing football. 
TOBACCO BAGS 
With the pipes are carried small, round-bottom tobacco bags, made 
from various kinds of ornamentai fur or skin, the borders often having 
handsome patterns formed by different colored skins, fur, or beadwork 
tassels. The top is generally bordered by strips of fur of the wolverine, 
mink, or other animal, or sometimes by a band of ornamental needle- 
work.
