Description-Abstract	Effigy of a great horned owl sits on the pipe platform. "Horns" extend backward from the lateral edges of the bowl (right one has been restored; left one has been damaged). Eyes are large circular raised areas. There are some fine incisions on the beak. The only other details are the feather patterns on the wings and tail. Feet are represented by three small parallel ridges on both right and left sides. Damage is apparent between the right eye and right side of the beak. Platform has been broken and repaired on either side of the effigy; also much of the posterior platform has been restored. Distinct concentric striations are visible in the bowl, although rest of the surfaces are free of striations. There is slight damage to two wing tips on the left wing. Both ends of platform are squared, although the posterior end is not original. The pipe is made of Ohio pipestone that is light brownish gray and grayish brown.
