Item Details
Description
Northwestern North America, Tlingit peoples, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. Tlingit pipes consist of straight or slightly curved stems of wood, bone, or other materials and a bowl composed of a piece of metal or stone stuck into a hole at the end. This stem is in a delightful anthropomorphized beaver shape, complete with enormous front teeth and a small beaver tail with a cross-hatched design on the back. The carving is well done and incorporates the animals' bodies into the shape of the stem. Size: 1.2" W x 4.9" H (3 cm x 12.4 cm)

Provenance: Ex-Adeon Gallery, Nick Poolos collectiona cquired before 1975
