This Hawk/Star figure can be compared to the “Resting Warrior” pipe from Spiro, Oklahoma, and to the Rogan Plates from Etowah, Georgia, through various elements. In addition, the figure’s facial and torso stripes, long-nosed maskette ear ornament, multiple eyes on the chest, forehead plaque, and arrows in the plaque all have their counterpart explanations in the ethnographic literature.
