Hand Carved Catlinite, "tȟatȟáŋka"-Buffalo Effigy Pipe, Signed by Carver, Carved and Beaded Pipe Stem with split Deer Skin Embellishment
$595.00
This beautiful piece is a hand carved, artist signed, Catlinite pipe with a carved painted and wood burned pipe stem embellished with beaded band and split deer skin fringe.
The pipe is carved from a beautiful piece of catlinite, the bowl embellished with pewter bands. A wonderfully detailed buffalo appears as a raised figure within a framed box. The artist who carved this pipe signed it on the base. There is a very small chip on the end of the pipe, I believe the pipe is much older than the pipe stem. The stem is recent, the bow in the stem suggests it was not fully dried when it was carved. The artist signed this piece with a "mark" rather than in script. Traditionally First Nations peoples did not have written languages, when called on to "sign" documents many adopted "marks" rather than European script. This mark is honoring traditional First Nations practices. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.
The catlinite pipe is approx. 6 1/8 inches long, it stands approx. 3 3/8 inches tall from the base to the lip and internal diameter of the bowl is approx. 1/2 inch. Together, the pipe and stem are approx. 23 1/2 inches long and approx. 1 1/2inches wide. The carving on the body of the buffalo is wonderfully detailed, speaking to the skill of the carver. The pipe stem is approx. 18 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. The pipe has not been used but draws well and could be used if desired.
