Pipe itself has a conical & has incised carving on the top. Very beautiful pipestone, no cracks, chips, or restoration. Length 8” long conical pipe 4” tall
History: Pipestone (catlinite) is a workable material that... starts out a pink shade as it ages it turns a very deep reddish amber color. I believe this pipe might go back to the 1800’s because of the rich deep color. This piece came out of the Ramey Family Collection. It is unknown to me exactly how it came into the hands of my father. I am 76, I have been fortunate to have position of a large collection of museum quality artifacts. I myself have discovered & have been passed down to from Ramey Family. I am liquidating my collection while my health permits. Please don’t miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of history.
