Native American Plains Tribes Calumet Pipe "Peace Pipe

Description:
Native American tribes, particularly some Plains tribes like the Sioux, crafted ceremonial pipes using a variety of materials. The bowl of these pipes was frequently carved from Catlinite, a soft, reddish stone also known as pipestone, primarily sourced from Pipestone, Minnesota. These pipes were used in a variety of ceremonies including peace and war, but more often for peace giving them the "peace pipe" name. The distinctive "t-shape" of this pipe dates it to c1850 and the style and shape of the lead inlay suggests a Plains tribe origin. This beautiful pipe is 3 3/4" long 3 3/8" tall with lead inlay on the pipe end and has all the appearances of being from the 1850 to 1900. It has evidence of being used with all the tell tale signs of great age, thousands of small wear lines and scratches, bumps and a deep aged patina. Also evidence of hand tooling and sanding and not perfect holes. This pipe will add to any collection.;
