The lot features an excellent Eastern Sioux pipe bowl with bear effigy carving dating to circa 1850-1875 from the Bruce VanLandingham Sundog collection. The piece is hand carved from black steatite in an elbow pattern with Bear Effigy animal carving. A high ridge runs across the front and extends to the bottom with two hand drilled pierced holes at the front, which would have held a drop of fringes or feathers. The bottom of the pipe has a hand painted musuem collection number of 2628. Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector, Bruce was also the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman, which was both part museum and gallery, this piece is directly from the collection. Museum collection number E1079. The pieec shows a small chip at the bottom front edge of the rim and expected nicks, dings and scratches from honest age and use but no major cracks or breaks. The inside of the bowl has a spiral hand drilled tapering finish. Truly a fantastic piece. Measures overall 3.25"L by 2.5"H by 1 1/8"D.
