EARTHENWARE OF THE NEW YORK ABORIGINES 121 



Fig. 165 is another of these, more angular than some in its curves. 

 This is from a photograph, and there seem to be six faces around 

 the top. A fragment of a stem shows that these faces follow the 

 curved and diminishing stem nearly to the mouthpiece, which is 

 neatly rounded and has a molding at the end. This is from the 

 Onondaga site west of Cazenovia, where several have been found. 

 The stockade was occupied about 1600, and this unique type died 

 with the maker. 



Fig. 166 is part of a pipe bowl which is encircled by a serpent, 

 the head appearing below. The form is found in many places, but 

 this comes from a circular stockade near Baldwinsville. There are 

 grooves between the scaly folds. 



Fig. 167 is an owl's head pipe from Nichols' pond, and is 2^^ 

 inches wide. These are often found in a fragmentary condition, and 

 are rarely as perfect as this. It was a favorite design among the 

 Petun nation of Canada, and sometimes is combined with other 

 things in New York. 



Fig. 168 is a pipe bowl from Ontario county, which is of simple 

 design. There are six moldings above, and the top is nearly rec- 

 tangular. Near the base is a large molding around the bowl. The 

 greatest diameter is 2 inches. 



Fig. 169 is a handsome fragment of the rim of a pipe bowl, much 

 like a high and pointed cap or miter. This is ornamented with 

 horizontal and diagonal grooves, the latter converging, and most 

 of them notched. The color is a bright red, and it must have been 

 a beautiful article when perfect. It was found on a stockade site a 

 little west of Baldwinsville. \ 



Fig. 170 is a coarsely made pipe, with a barrel shaped bowl, the 

 horizontal lines above and below suggesting hoops, and the ver- 

 tical lines between, staves. It is 4 inches long, and was obtained 

 near Binghamton. 



Fig. 171 is a rare form dating from the middle of the 17th cen- 

 tury. It was found in a grave at Brewerton, with an eagle pipe 

 and two others, along with European articles. It has the lines of 

 dots frequent in that day, and its notable feature is that the single, 

 spirited panther's head, forming the bowl is at right angles with
