Pipe-making Process

Moist clay is shaped with the fingers and a bamboo spatula. Designs are incised on the bowl, and frequantly the raised portions are emphasized by the addition of small pieces of brass wire. The bowls are baked in a slow fire, after which the bamboo mouthpieces are added. TINGUIAN. Northwestern Luzon, Philippine Islands. Robert F. Cummings Expedition. F.C. Cole, Collector.
