Catlinite pipe bowl (part a) with pewter/lead inlay and a quill work pipe stem (part b). The pipe bowl is black with inlaid grey and red designs on the bowl and the end of the shank with the mortise. The design closest to the opening of bowl has a curved upper edge and straight bottom edge, with repeating alternating black and red designs within. The next design has a zigzag upper edge and straight bottom edge. Last is a solid band. The shank is square on the mortise end, tapering in to a blunt end. The bowl is conical. The pipe stem is wooden and decorated with wrapped quill work of checkerboard pattern in bands of colour (red, black, blue, green, natural quill) alternating with natural quill. The quill work is stitched together along the long edge. On one end of the pipestem is a cylindrical tenon (that inserts into the mortise) and at the opposite end is the carved mouthpiece separated by a carved circle.

Tip of pipe has carved chevron decoration behind which stands a tall bowl, flaring out slightly from its narrow base and with cross-hatch carving at top. At the opposite end, a hand carved in relief grasps the stippled surface. The stem changes shape from ends to middle, from cylindrical to squared to octagonal.
