smoothly ground stone. No. 89289 [1582] (Fig. 6b from Utkiavwin) is 
of rather soft greenish gray slate. No. 89290 [864] is of the same shape, 
but of hard greenish stone, while the third stone pipe (No. 89291 [834], 
from Utkiavwin), of gray slate, is of quite a different pattern. Three of 
the series have bowls of reindeer antler, lined with thin sheet brass, 
and one a bowl of walrus ivory, lined with thin copper. (See Fig. 6c, 
Nos. 89285 [954], 89256 [915], and 89287 [1129].)

Fic. 6.—Pipes: a, pipe with metal bowl; b, pipe with stone bowl; ¢, pipe bowl of antler or ivory. 
Antler and stone pipes of this pattern and rather small are usually 
carried by the men out of doors, while the more elaborate metal pipes, 
which are often very large and handsome (I have seen some with a 
saucer at least 3 inches in diameter) are more frequently used in the 
house and by the women. The stem is usually 1 foot or 13 inches long, 
though pipes at least 18 inches long were seen. 
To most pipes are attached pickers, as in the type specimen. The 
picker is in all cases of metal, usually iron or steel, but sometimes of 
copper (see the pickers attached to pipes above). When not in use the 
point is tucked under the lashing on the stem. The pipes are readily 
taken apart for cleaning.
