Smoking pipe

InscriptionsA very rough drawing is scratched into one side of the large, catlinite section of the pipe: the drawing depicts a man's profile smoking a similar-looking pipe. He has short hair and a hat with designs around the opening and a round object at the pointed end. The man's body is seen from the front, with both arms hanging by his side and buttons on his shirt clearly marked.
