Ceremonial Peace Pipe, Antler Bowl, Beaded, Origin Likely Mojave Peoples of the Colorado River
$105.00
This very nice, medium sized, Native American made, ceremonial peace pipe, was likely made by a member of the Mojave Peoples. The pipe is approx. 8 1/2 inches long, when suspended by the carry cord the drop is approx. 7 3/4 inches. The antler pipe stands approx. 3 5/8 inches tall, is approx. 3/4 inch wide at the widest point. internal diameter of the bowl is approx. 1/2 inch. There is evidence that the pipe has been used. The antler has a warm, polished patina. The pipe stem ends in a rounded wooden mouthpiece. The length of the stem is tightly wrapped with thin strips of split leather. The leather winding frames a center section of tightly wrapped bead strings. The intersection of the bead work and leather wrapping is anchored by what appears to be tightly wrapped sinew. The decorative drop is made up of hollow sections of bone and rounded wooden dowels. The carry strap is braided, heavily waxed fiber strands. This is a lovely example of a mid-20th century ceremonial pipe from the Mojave Peoples Nation. It would be a wonderful display piece or could be used if desired. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.
The Mojave held lands along the river that stretched from Black Canyon, past Spirit Mountain, to the Quechan Valley, where the lands of other tribes began. Contemporary landmarks would be from Hoover Dam to approx. one hundred miles below Parker Dam on the Colorado River. The most famous incident involving this Nation occurred during the 19th century. The adoption into the tribe of Olive Oatman after her family was massacred by another tribe. Her life is the subject of a book the remains in print: The Blue Tattoo: The Life of Olive Oatman.
