109 
finger-nail impressions (Plate XVT, figure 19). In a few cases the borders 
of the cavity are in low relief to indicate the lids (Plate XVI, figures 16, 
21). 1 The noses on most of the faces on pipes, which might be described 
as roughly triangular as viewed from the front, are mostly broader than in 
nature and either straight (Plate XVI, figures 18, 21) or slightly retrousse 
in profile (Plate XVI, figure 20). The crudest representation of this feature 
consists of a narrow, vertical, rounded ridge (Plate XVI, figure 19). The 
nose on the face in Plate IX, figure 26, is crude, and it is only a little more 
than suggested on one of the little heads on the pipe in Plate XVI, figure 14, 
and the little head (Plate XV, figure 31). Only one has the natural shape 
of the alse suggested, although perhaps it was unintentional. This detail 
of the nose is seldom brought out naturally even in the highly developed 
plastic art of Mississippi valley and Tennessee, 2 and on the modem wooden 
masks of the Iroquois. The nostrils are indicated on five of the faces. The 
bridge of the nose on the face in Plate XVI, figure 20, bears four, short, 
transverse grooves which, as mentioned above, may represent tattooed or 
painted markings. The mouth on all the faces is open and is represented 
by oblong (Plate XVI, figure 17) or lenticular depressions of various 
lengths (Plate IX, figure 26, Plate XV, figure 31, and Plate XVI, figures 
14, 18, 20, 21), and by a finger-nail impression (Plate XVI, figure 19), the 
size being in most cases proportionate to that of the face. The borders of 
a few of the depressions are in low relief to represent the lips, the upper 
lip in two examples protruding more than the lower (Plate XVI, figure 20) . 
None of the upper lips shows the vertical furrow below the nose, or furrows 
from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, as on a pipe from 
an early Huron site in Victoria county {See Boyle, 8, Figure 9). The 
teeth 3 and the tongue are not indicated. The chins are more or less natur- 
ally treated; a few are broad and show the natural incurve below the lip 
(Plate XVI, figures 18, 20) ; that on the face in Plate XVI, figure 21, how- 
ever, is retreating and disproportionately small as compared with the face. 
The raised band across the top of the forehead on the face in Plate XVI, 
figure 16, may have been intended to represent either the hair or a cap- 
like head-dress. The significance of the triangular figures above the little 
heads on the fragment in Plate XVI, figure 15, is uncertain, but they may 
be ornamental. They are like those on a pipe bowl from Jefferson county, 
New York, which Skinner (4:154), referring to his Figure 396, thinks 
may represent plumed head-dresses. None has horn-like projections like 
those on human face pipes from Huron sites in Simcoe {See Hunter, 2, 
Figures 1, 2), York {See Boyle, 5, Figure 11), and Victoria counties (See 
Boyle, 8, Figure 15; and, 11, Figures 15, 22), the site of Hochelaga {See 
Dawson, 3, Figure 18), and a Seneca site in New York {See Parker, 4, 
Figure 6, 5). 
The only modelled full-length representations of the human form are 
two figures, with heads missing, on the side of the pipe bowl in Plate XVI, 
figure 23, and the little figurine in Plate XV, figure 30. Those on the pipe 
represent a nude child riding pickaback on a larger nude figure, the legs 
i£ee Skinner, 4, fig. 44, showing a face with the eyes somewhat similarly treated.
