The total length of this pipe is 21-1/8" long. The very rare colored steatite bowl measures 4-7/8" long and it is 3" tall. This is a traditional plains style pipe. It is a hand-crafted piece, made out of a very attractive piece of steatite. It is kind of a brown color with shades of a gorgeous blue/green color. There is also small black specks interspersed through the pipe. This is another very unique pipe that was made by Hapan.
The bowl on this pipe will hold plenty of tobacco. This is a traditional 4-winds pipe made out of a not-so-traditional type of stone.
The rings and designs on this pipe were put on the pipe bowl after the pipe had been waxed. That allows you to see the natural color of the stone and provides for a nice contrast in the piece.
It's a very unique and attractive pipe!
The pipe is signed by "Hapan". The stem is made out of Black Walnut. It is beaded with a fancy design, in traditional Sioux style. It is also decorated with deer leather fringes. The stem has excellent draw.
The pipe is fully functional and will make a great ceremonial pipe.
