The lot features a rare pattern of double turned in horse head catlinite pipe from the Eastern Plains to Great Lakes region tribes. The piece is crafted from solid Minnesota Pipestone Catlinite showing two horse heads both turned towards the vase shaped bowl. Both have a ridged horse main cut on the back. The horses have eyes inlaid with blue seed beads. A pipe marked as, 19th Century Eastern Plains has the same turned in horse with vase shape bowl and ridge back which was sold by Bonhams in 2019 valued at $2500-$3500. This pipe has a hand drilled bowl with more straight drilled pipe connection. There is some deep coloring from age and small imperfections. Mostly present and displays beautifully. The pipe measures 6.75" by 3.25" by 1 3/8".
