- Lot Description
Native American, Northern Midwestern United States, Minnesota, Chippewa (Ojibwe) Tribe, ca. 1880 to early 1900s CE. An impressive red Catlinite stone pipe with a lengthy wooden inhalation shaft / mouthpiece carved into a corkscrew shape and painted red, green, and yellow. The red pipestone bowl is inlaid with pewter bands and a leather, porcupine quill, horsehair, and feather ornament is tied to the shaft, this circle with crossed lines symbolizes life and the cardinal directions. An old inventory label near the mouthpiece indicates this came from Cass Lake Minnesota, home to the Chippewa people. Such a pipe was likely made for presentation as a gift and ceremony. Size: 37" L x 2.25" W x 5" H (94 cm x 5.7 cm x 12.7 cm)
Catlinite is a soft, red siltstone named for the 1830s artist and explorer George Catlin who visited the quarries of this stone in Minnesota. Catlinite pipes are ubiquitous at Oneota sites of the late prehistoric, protohistoric, and early historic periods. These pieces are aesthetically appealing with the rich red coloring but is said to derive from the blood of revered ancestors.
