When the wax pipe is completed a projecting point of wax is attached to the base of the pipe, and the whole is imbedded in a clay jacket, the point of wax, however, projecting from the jacket.

The black ones are made by reburning the red bowls about half an hour in palay straw. Two men in Sabangan and one each in Genugan and Takong all western pueblos manufacture metal "anito" pipes. To-day brass wire and the metal of cartridge shells are most commonly employed in making these pipes. The process of manufacture is elaborate and very interesting.
