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. Lakȟóta, United States, Americas
