Title	Pipe, Platform Hawk Effigy.
Subject	Hopewell culture.; Woodland culture.; Mound-builders.; Tobacco pipes.; Stone carving.
Description	Platform: 78 mm long, 34 mm wide (30 mm anterior, 31 mm posterior), 8 mm deep; Bowl: 39 mm high, 15 mm diameter; Effigy: 63 mm long, 32 mm wide.; This pipe is part of a large collection of pipes found at Tremper Mound. Most of the pipes were carved of Ohio pipestone, a silica-based material that can be easily carved when freshly quarried from the hills east of the Scioto River. The pipes represent a variety of animals significant to the Hopewell, including owls, wolves, deer and beaver. Skilled Hopewell craftsmen carved the pipes with flint knives and some are embellished with pearls or copper.; This item was on display in the First Ohioans Exhibit at the Ohio Historical Center (1986-2006).; This item is included in Windows to Our Collections at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus (opened July 2006).

Description-Abstract	Hawk effigy stands at a right angle to the pipe platform with right shoulder toward the mouthpiece hole. Details of face--cheek patch, feather design on head, beak--are clearly defined. Wings are folded with wing tips crossed over the tail. Wing feathers are indicated by parallel incised lines. There are no looping lines on wings or zig-zag lines on the bird's underside, as is common with other hawk representations in the William D. Tremper Collection. Slight cross-hatching is visible on the anterior margins of wings. Legs are very faintly defined on the bowl; only the left claw is indicated on the platform. Outer talon is carefully defined. The middle one extends over edge of the platform onto the underside. Inner talon is very faint. The pipe has the appearance of an unfinished sculpture. Eyes are drilled and inset with pearls. A few striations are visible under the bird's chin and on platform; none can be seen in the bowl. Anterior end of platform is squared; posterior end was broken at an oblique angle prehistorically and rough edges were smoothed. Effigy had been broken off platform and refitted. A section of the bowl beneath bird's tail has been restored. The pipe is made of very dark gray Ohio pipestone.
Format-Extent	1 pipe : very dark gray ; 55 x 34 x 78 mm.
Format-Medium	Ohio Pipestone ; pearl ; carved, ground, polished, drilled.
Coverage-Spatial	United States--Ohio--Scioto--Rush Township.
