Presented in this lot are Plains Indians Catlinite and Soapstone Pipe Bowls, circa late 1900s. The catlinite pipe features a hole on the upper stem for a carrying strap. Because it is fine-grained and easily worked, catlinite, also called pipestone, is prized by Native Americans, primarily those of the Plains Indians, for use in making ceremonial pipes, known as "chanunpas" or cha?nú?pas in the Lakota language. Only enrolled Native Americans are allowed to quarry for the stone at the Pipestone National Monument, and thus it is protected from over-mining. Another quarry is located near Hayward, Wisconsin on the reservation, which the Ojibwa have used for centuries. Another popular stone used for pipe carving was soapstone. This pipe bowl is marble soapstone with a medicine wheel symbol carved on either side of the bowl. Both pipe bowls are in good condition and show minimal staining from minerals inside the bowl. Catlinite bowl measures .875"W x 3.75"L x 2.125"H; marble soapstone bowl is 1"W x 3.75"L x 2"H. Combined weight is 12oz.
