- Lot Description
Height 2.75 in., Width 4 in., Depth .75 in. Referred to as a Plains Pipe, this style of pipe was not limited to one group or tribe, but was in general use from the western Ohio Valley to the Rockies and from the Arkansas River to the plains of southern Canada. Large numbers of plains pipes came directly into white hands from Native peoples during that widely publicized period in our history, marked by the Indian wars and treaties. Because this kind of ceremonial pipe was frequently used to bind a treaty, it became widely known as the Peace Pipe. Although made of the same Catlinite material, most Catlinite pipes were made for personal use, not ceremonial.
