Cloud blowers. Faywood Hot Springs. (Swope collection.)

The pipes from the Mimbres take the form of tubular cloud-blowers, specimens of which are shown. Apparently these pipes were sometimes thrown into sacred springs, but others have been picked up on the surface of village sites or a few feet below the surface.
