| | 23" Spotted Horse Pipe Order One Like This | The total length of this very attractive "2011" Horse Effigy Pipe is 23" long. It is made out of Sacred Catlinite, which is commonly referred to, by many people, as Pipestone. Catlinite has been used for centuries by Native Americans to make important ceremonial pipes and other items. It is a red stone that is believed to have originated from the blood of Native American ancestors.
The particular piece of stone used for this pipe comes from the bottom layer of stone. This layer of stone is the most highly sought after and it is often used for important ceremonial or council pipes.
The pipe bowl measures 5-5/8" long and it is 2-1/8" tall. As you can see on the photo's, special attention was given to the features of the horse. It's ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and main can all be seen in great detail. A saddle is also repressented on the horse.
The idea for this pipe originated from someone who had emailed us with a few pictures of an authentic older pipe that was fashioned much like this one. (The original was quite a bit larger though) We incorporated some of our own style and characteristics into it, (and the 2011 date instead of the 1863 date on the original) and this is what we ended up with. This is our very 1st reproduction of that pipe.
The diamond shaped Black Walnut stem is 18" long. The diamond shaped stem was very popular in the late 1800's.
This pipe will make a great ceremonial pipe.
