Item Details
Description
Western Great Lakes Twisted and Decorated Pipe Stem, with Inlaid Catlinite Bowl
second quarter 19th century

overall length 28 inches; stem length 24-1/4 inches; bowl length 5 inches x height 3 inches

[This stem] is probably from the Western Great Lakes.   The series of small incised carvings probably form a prayer in pictographs.   Such messages are often encountered among the Ojibwas.   The sinuous fluted spirals are, of course, carved; but some people believe wrongly that the stem was twisted to form this shape.   This piece could well date before 1800 (Hanson 1994: 116).

Stem is Published:
Spirits in the Art (Hanson 1994: 116-117, plate 120)


Condition
Stand is not included.   Bowl and stem is a marriage.   Bowl was included while at the house.
