Sioux Inlaid Pipe & Tacked Stem 19th Century
The lot features an inlaid pewter bullet led catlinite pipe and wood stem with brass tacks from the Sioux Native American Indians of the 19th Century. The “L” elbow pipe bowl has a presentation grade pewter inlaid design with strong heavy bowl, tip caps with a single, thin band running parallel to the caps and four single bands topped with a round end running perpendicular (one on each side found at the bowl and smoking tip ends). The bowl is crafted of pipestone catlinite in a fine shape and has a small flat cut prow on the front and nice pinkish red natural coloration. The ash wood stem has a typical flat shape with wrap of tarnished wire at the center and beautiful brass tacked design. Provenance: From the ex-collections of Gorglon Borrlyn and Tom Hardy. Together the pipe measures 20 inches long.
