Description: | Bamboo pipe, hollow on one end and closed by natural partition in the bamboo on the other. Two small holes created in the closed end. Square-pattern carvings burned into wood.
Cane tobacco filled tube inserted in small hole near the closed end and pipe was filled with smoke by sucking at open end. Open end closed by the hand, tube removed and cooled smoke inhaled from the small holes. Pipe was then passed from person to person and one pipe full would provide several draughts (Phelps, 1976).
