INDIAN ARTIFACT, Mississippian Duck Effigy Pipe
Item History & Price
This is a Mississippian duck head effigy pottery pipe. It has two duck heads looking back at the smoker pf the piece and engravings on the stem resemble Mississippian style seen on shell face masks. It is in good condition and no repairs.
This could also be a 1700 tavern pipe. I have seen several listed as Mississippian over the years, but - look at it like this. When looking straight into the pipe, the two duck heads actually look like breast on a female!!!!... Think about that while looking at the 8th and 9th picture, Just a thought. I can see some old man (like me) walking around smoking this thing and holding it up to someone far away, getting his afternoon laugh. It just a thought or observation.
