The Spiro mound collection in the Museum

Abstract

11 the bowl rim.The top and sides of the stem body each have six circular countersunk areas which were probably made for shell in- lays although no trace of such now exists.Red paint is visible in some of these.On the top surface, the inlay sockets are set apart by four interspaced double diamond incisings.PLATE III CAT.20/744.A single bowl pipe, probably of limonite, the stem being drilled from one end only.The solid end has been squared off.The walls of the base of the bowl are quite thick and the drilling connects with the bowl somewhat above the stem level.Tool marks are found in considerable quantity particularly on the outer areas of the bowl.CAT.19/1251.Described in text covering pi.ii.CAT.18/6556.A single bowl pipe, the stem being drilled from one end only.The other end has been squared off.PLATE IV CAT.20/746.A single bowl pipe, drilled from one end, the other being fashioned to a smooth and symmetrical point.The bowl of this specimen is somewhat expanded as it joins the stem.The bowl drilling, however, is of equal diameter throughout its depth, not following the outer bowl lines.CAT.18/6432.A single bowl pipe, the bowl being somewhat above average height for the stem length.CAT.20/745.A single bowl pipe, the undrilled end of the stem tapering to a blunted point.There are many tool marks on all surfaces.PLATE V CAT.20/749.A pipe bowl.It is possible that originally the projection in front of the bowl was longer.It appears to have been reworked into a slightly uptilted and rounded point after possible breakage.CAT.20/748.A pipe bowl with incised curvilinear decoration around the whole stem area and two parallel annular lines near the bowl rim.This is shown in the drawing of the unfolded design on this plate.
