Neighbor found this in her garden

[mamabear]

She dropped by this morn to share this with me & I thought maybe we could get info on it here. There was a village in the field next to mine, & 8 mounds that have been plowed for over 100 yrs. Could this be an artifact?

Can't wait to see what the experts say!

Me too.

Looks like head form and from the back side it looks like it was once mounted on a stick.

Nice! Looks like a broken pipe...

I thought pipe too.

How can I tell age?

 

[buckeye digger]

My initial guess is native American effigy pipe. Me and my father have found several examples here in Ohio that are similar in design and material used. These were fairly commonly traded. As far as age that is beyond my expertise.
Hope this helps!

I would guess a broken effigy pipe as well. Very cool find MamaBear. You and you neighbor need to hunt.
