"Indian Figure" Smoking Pipe Bowl

One smoking pipe bowl and rim fragment with a molded pattern on the body of the bowl. The molded pattern depicts a figure standing on the side of the bowl and holding a spear with an outstretched arm. A mirror image or similar figure would have been on the opposite side of the bowl, but most of this portion of the pipe is missing.
