This is an excellent circa 1933 catalinite pipe and beaded wood stem from the Dakota Sioux Native American Indians. The pipe bowl is hand carved in a traditional “T” pattern with hand etchings of a Chief and leaves. The pipe bowl is signed on the bottom, “1933 from Mother & Dad”. The pipe shows a fin-like blade blunt point end tapering to the tall cylindrical bowl, which tapers out. Behind the bowl is an incised section that holds an Indian tanned buckskin gasket with trade cotton thread sewn early glass trade seed beads in three rows, displaying colors of greasy green and Cheyenne pink and a bottom with Indian tanned buckskin hide fringe. The bowl has a rich red to speckled pink coloring in pipestone catalinite. The stem is carved of solid wood with a slight tapering bend having a scrapped and slight file burned finish. An incised section at the center holds a trade canvas muslin wrap with trade-cotton-thread-sewn early glass trade seed beads in colors of greasy yellow, semi-transparent, faceted semi-transparent green, and some various crazy colors, as well as two small fringes of Indian tanned buckskin hide at the base. Provenance: From a private museum collection in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. Overall, the pipe and bowl together measure 27.25” L. The bowl is 6.75” L by 2 7/8” H by 1.25” W.
