"Ceremonial smoking marked the activities of many indigenous peoples of America - rallying forces for warfare, trading goods and hostages, ritual dancing, and medicine ceremonies. Bowls, stems, and tobacco were stored in animal-skin pouches or in bundles with other sacred objects. Ashes were disposed of only in special places. Ornamental pipes were often valued possessions buried with the dead. There were as many variations in pipe design as there were makers."

Used as both weapon and ceremonial object, the Tomahawk Pipe was created in an astonishing variety of shapes. Hand-forged with high carbon steel blade. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts. Shaft features bands of carved cross-hatching. 22 1/2" overall. Head: 9" x 4".

Bring back the flavor of the past. This is a perfect display piece with any Native American or Revolutionary War collection.
