The right-angle pipe found at Po-shu is not a real elbow pipe but 
may have been related to that form. 
The large pipe (pl. 34, C) is a cloud blower or ceremonial pipe. 
It is made of clay, or rather a very sandy paste, with considerable 
mica in it, and then burned. There is no evidence that it ever had 
a reed mouthpiece, such as is found in the California pipes, or a bone 
mouthpiece such as was found by Dr. Hough in the Rio Puerco 
region in Arizona in 1901. 
A similar pipe is described by Dr. Fewkes in an account of “one of 
the most archaic portions of the ceremonies about the altar of the 
Antelope priesthood, at the time of the snake-dance at Walpi.... 
The wu-k6-tco-io is a huge, stemless pipe, which has a large opening in 
the blunt end and a smaller one in the pointed. It is 5 inches long, 
1 inch in diameter at the large aperture, and its greatest circumfer- 
ence is 74 inches.’’® 
One other pipe presents an unusual feature for this region. The 
fragment (pl. 34, B) shows a variation of mouthpiece which is sel- 
dom found in the Jemez Plateau or Rio Grande. It has two lateral 
wings sloping to the mouth end. These at present are somewhat 
rubbed down, but must originally have been quite a bit wider 
than they are now. The material is the same paste as the biscuit- 
ware pottery with a red wash applied after the pipe was sun dried 
and before it was burned in the kiln. 
In hunting for pipes with lateral wings such as this one has I 
have only found one other specimen mentioned. Again quoting Dr. 
Fewkes from the report previously mentioned with reference to a 
pipe found at Sikyatki, he says, ‘‘ One of these is very smooth, almost 
glazed and enlarged into two lateral wings near the mouth end.’ 
The one found at Po-shu is not glazed, but was polished with a 
polishing stone and suggested a glaze. 
The tubular pipes show an interesting variety of form and material. 
Plate 34, D, appeared at first to be made of catlinite, or, as it is bet- 
ter known, Minnesota pipestone, but upon more careful examination 
it was found to be made of a very fine, close-grained clay. This is a 
particularly well made and handsome specimen. 
The one marked £ on the same plate is of fine sandstone, showing 
the striations produced by the stone drill in cutting out the inside of 
the pipe. Another pipe of clay (pl. 34, F) has a collar with lines 
running around the large end and incised lines from the collar to the 
mouth end. A poorly baked specimen in the shorter cloud-blower 
(pl. 34, G) is decorated with four lines of dot impressions running 
from the large end to the small. The other pipes do not present any 
unusual features. 
Two specimens in the course of construction are shown in Plate 34.
