This eight-inch-tall man, suffering from a goiter and rickets, is the only carved pipe to bear a human form among hundreds that have been found in prehistoric burial sites in the Ohio River Valley.

The remarkable structures and artifacts they and their successors the Hopewell Indians left behind are the subject of an article within.
