    Description

    Very rare and beautiful, ca1900 Native American Northern Plains / Sioux Indian Hand Carved Catlinite Pipe Bowl with a ca1920’s carved wood stem.
    This very attractive, Northern Plains / Sioux Pipe measures approx. 25" long overall and is made up of 2 parts – a hand carved, 5 3/4" long Catlinite Pipe Bowl and a slightly later 19 1/2” long wood stem. The Pipe Bowl is expertly carved with smooth surfaces and elegant lines with a rich and warm, age appropriate surface patina. The Stem is simple but very attractive as can be seen in the scans below.
    The body of the Stem measures approx. 19 1/2” long, 1 3/8” wide at its widest point and 3/4” thick at its thickest point. It retains what appears to be its original, hand rubbed finish and is made of a heavily grained fruitwood.
    The hand carved, Pipestone / Catlinite Pipe Bowl measures approx. 5 3/4” and 2 3/4” tall. The design is simple but beautiful and Bowl features a rich and warm, age appropriate surface patina.
    Although the Bowl and Stem go well together, we believe that the Bowl is somewhat earlier than the stem and they likely did not begin life together.
    The Catlinite Pipe Bowl and carved wood Stem offered here are unconditionally guaranteed original and of the period. They are NOT reproductions or modern recreations but are original Northern Plains / Sioux Artifacts crafted in the early 20th century. The Pipe Bowl and Stem come with our “no questions asked” return privilege and our lifetime guarantee of authenticity. They are guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
    This very rare and very beautiful, ca1900 Catlinite Pipe Bowl is in very good condition. There is no significant damage and no repairs of any kind. There are a few small scuffs and a tiny flea bite or 2 but overall the Bowl is exceptionally well preserved and displays beautifully. The somewhat later stem is also well preserved with no damage and no repairs of any kind. Please see the numerous scans below for a good indication of the form and condition of this Beautiful Sioux Pipe.

    Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
    The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a .00 "packing fee" - the .00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the .00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
