Sioux. Beautiful very long pipe stem. Catlin painted people holding these long pipes. Ceremonial use is for agreement meetings, visits and trade.

The ash wood pipe stem is carved, pierced and painted with red and blue-green paint. It is decorated with horsehair, a bird scalp, and a piece of silk ribbon. The original Jarvis inscription reads, "Indian Pipe Menominee."

This is a fine red catlinite or red pipestone pipe bowl with red inlays around each end and a delicately tapered shape.
