Description
This

large

of

silica-based
material
that
can
be
easily
carved
when
freshly
quarried
from the
hills

River
. The
pipes
represent
a
variety
of
animals
significant
to the
Hopewell
,
including
owls
,
wolves
,
deer

beaver
.
Skilled
Hopewell

carved
the

knives
and
some
are
embellished
with
pearls
or
copper.
