- Lot Description
Large, folk art carved, dark wood pipe, likely laurel root, highly professional in appearance. Edge of bowl and edge of back section (where stem fits), very high relief carved with delicate border comprised of triangular shaped small motifs and edged below that with high relief design simulating curtain drapes and tassels. Front and sides with very high relief, fine quality fancy American flag on pole at each side with sharply curved stripes. Center between the flags with high relief, very beautifully and delicately carved American eagle with wings pointing downward, with US shield on the eagle's breast and a larger US shield held in its claws below. A very large relief carved wooden cross with original red painted finish is carved in high relief beside each of the eagle's wings. Extreme bottom and complete under section of reverse with curved deep fluted motifs. There are several portions filled with wax. Based on the makers use of the color red and the greek cross, it is a strong possibility that it was either made for or by a member of the 6th Corps in the 1st Division. Maximum overall width 3.25 in.; bowl height 3 in., dia. 2 in.
Provenance: N. Flayderman and Co., Inc.Crack in flag to the left of Eagle, near bottom edge of curved stripes. Some light chips in relief carved details. Very good overall considering age and use.Condition
