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	Gray fox effigy shows the animal seated on the pipe platform. The front legs are carved in the round with the feet resting on the platform. Hind legs are carved in bas relief on the bowl. The fox's tail rests on the platform. Facial features are clearly delineated. Eyes are shallow depressions (4.5 mm long) and show no sign of being inset. An incised line encircling the eyes and nose may designate a color patch. A series of short parallel lines between the ears extend forward on the forehead to the incised line. The fox's ears are erect; the right ear is slightly damaged. There is copper oxide staining on the nose and above the left eye. A few striations are visible on the effigy and platform. The interior of the bowl is smooth; the bowl is at an angle to accommodate the effigy. The anterior end of the platform is squared. Posterior end is rounded and appears to have been broken prehistorically and smoothed at the break. There are areas of restoration along the left side of the effigy and on the bowl just above the right hind leg. The effigy pipe is made of Ohio pipestone that is olive gray slightly mottled with black.
