Catlinite Elbow Plains Indian Pipe Bowl

Plains Indian

19th Century | Item 2036

This elbow pipe has a nice, smooth patina about it. There are three rings at the top. It has been handled much over time. The holes drilled in both ends are offset and conical, as one expects from original and earlier pipes. This one shows evidence of having been used with old blackening on the inside.
