I defer to Smoke on all things pipe related, but could this be a Pamplin pipe or some other Virginia pipe? The Anthropomorphic pipes in the CHSA volume are more cherubic...

pipe recovered last summer near Petersburg, Virginia. The pipe was excavated
from a plantation site dating to the late 18th to mid-to-late 19th centuries.
Two other pipe fragments were recovered with similar features. Limited amounts
of research have been conducted on this artifact. We had been attributing it to
the Moravian tradition but this pipe is so much more stylized than the
classically influenced Moravian reed pipes that I feel uncomfortable in
definitely saying this. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources has a
similar stylized effigy pipe on display but the report contains no information
on the production of the pipe. Has anyone seen anything similar or have any
information on the production of these sort of pipes. Thanks!

TERM LIMITS because the longer they are in, the more arrogant,
self-aggrandizing, and corrupt they become.
Nothing says "American Dream" like crushing debt and burdensome regulation.
