The lot features a beautiful and unique 19th Century, artfully crafted steatite and catlinite, pewter inlaid pipe bowl attributed to the Ojibwa Native American Indians of the Great Lakes. Ojibwa, also referred to as Ojibwe, Chippewa, or Saulteaux, are an Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes Region. This example shows a black steatite pipe stone carved pipe bowl featuring artfully inlaid pewter along the tapering round smoking chamber with teeth-like zig zag drip affect and inlaid with pewter at the stem insert end with a geometric rectangle and triangular pattern, which is also inlaid with red catlinite pipe stone. The top of the tapering angular pipe in the traditional “T” styling shows the large keeled fine with three pierced holes; the ridged top is slighted deformed from honest age and use. Overall, the piece is in good condition, showing no visible cracks or repairs; the piece displays very well. This piece is from the second to third quarter of the 19th Century and is a truly rare and early example of a Great Lakes region pipe. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Mark Francis, author, renowned collector and musician. Measures overall 5 inches long by 2 3/4 inches tall.
