This is a nice twisted pipe stem with tacking paired with a catlinite tomahawk pipe bowl attributed to the Sioux Indians of the late-20th Century. Interestingly the pipe stem is in the carved design as the pipe attributed to Sioux Chief Sitting Bull and sold by Hindman in June 2022 for $100,000, while the same pattern this pipe has a much more contemporary age. The stem shows four carved cylindrical bars in a twisted pattern with carved bands at the center and just before the smoking tip, the central band has a double row of metal brass covered round shank tacks and the end shows a single row. The smoking tip has a turned tiered design with elongated tip and graduated ridged balls, the very same as the Sitting Bull example. The bowl is an addition to the pipe and is smaller than intended as it only fits on the smoking tip end and not the pipe connection end. The bowl is catlinite pipestone with an elbow tomahawk pattern showing a rounded vase like bowl with carved ridge design, cylindrical body and tomahawk blade bottom showing a four part shield for the four seasons being cutout and etched along with a filed ridge on both front and back of the blade sides. The catlinite is red with a pink speckling. The stem and pipe are both late 20th Century. The stem measures 22 3/8"L tip to tip and the bowl is 4 3/8"H by 2.75"W across the blade by 1 1/8"D. Together they measure 23.5"L.
