Large wood pipe bowl (part a) with separate long beaded stem (part b). On one end of the bowl is a large male face with circular eyes, large eyebrows, and two large puffed-out cheeks marked with scarification(?). The dark brown-black pipe bowl is carved with wrapping bands with zigzag designs within that cross underneath rows of bull heads. The bowl is horizontal, and sits above the mortise hole. The stem is heavily beaded with designs in red, light green, white and black. The tenon end (inserts into mortise) is wrapped in heavily soiled fabric, while the other end is a tube of wood extending from the beaded section with a small flat mouthpiece.
