; 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.
