The image of a bull elk with his outstrectched neck and antlers low on his shoulders is carved in shallow relief on the underside of this elbow-shaped pipe bowl. The circle or hoop near the animal's foreleg may associate this pipe bowl with the Elk Dreamer's Society. This pipe is displayed upside down.
