Native American Hatchet or Tomahawk Pipes

The total length of this pipe is 7-3/4" long. The catlinite bowl measures 2-1/8" long and it is 3-1/16" tall. This is a "hatchet" or "Warriors" pipe, handcrafted out of Sacred Pipestone or Catlinite as it is commonly referred to. The pipe has etching on the front and back side. This pipe is a nice solid red color. This pipe really shines up nice.

The etching towards the top of the bowl on both front and back is the "Indian Flag" or eagle staff. This is what you see at the grand entry when a pow-wow is beginning.

One side of the pipe has friendship feathers etched on it. The feathers are representative of 2 very close people who may be emotionally and spiritually attached. Could be brothers, best friends, husband and wife, grandfather and grandchild, or any relationship where two people have something like an inseparable bond between them.

The other side of the pipe has 3 trees etched on in. This can represent a couple of different things. One of the representations that I have been taught is that the trees stand for a person. The person is small when born and continues to grow as he gets older. It basically represents a papoose, a brave, and a warrior. The trees also can represent the entire family. As time passes the family continues to grow larger and more complete as new members are added.

The pipe is signed by "Hapan". The stem is made out of California Redwood. It is beaded in traditional Sioux style on deer leather. It also has some leather fringes on it that will hang down from the stem. The pipe is fully functional and will make a very good pipe for personal prayer. The size of it makes it ideal for that.
