Tomahawk-pipe, Plains Peoples. The bowl axehead is made of iron, and the stem is made of wood, stained with horizontal black stripes and inlaid with white metal. The white metal coveres the mouthpiece, the join between the head and the shaft and forms images on the shaft itself. On the left side is a large woodsman's axe, a curved quadrilateral that may represent a streched hide and a heart. On the back of the shaft is an arrow, and on the right side of the shaft are the same symbols as on the left except that the axe has been replaced by a tomahawk. ET Am,Dc.74.a-b.
