Description
18.25" long Native American ceremonial pipe. It has a black carved stone bowl and carved stone bear mouthpiece. The stem is spiral carved wood. This pipe has not been used in a religious ceremony and was most likely created by a Native American artist as a companion piece for a photograph sold in an art gallery in Northern Minnesota. Out of respect for the religious nature of ceremonial pipes, this object is not on public display and should be handled according to Native American religious practices.
