| | | 22-7/8" Spotted Catlinite Eagle Claw w/ BW Stem |
The total length of this Eagle Claw Pipe is 22-7/8" long. It is made out of Sacred Catlinite, which is commonly referred to by many as pipestone. Catlinite has been used for centuries by Native Americans to make ceremonial pipes and other items. It is a red stone that is believed to have originated from the blood of Native American ancestors.
The stone used for this pipe was some of the very highly sought after spotted stone. If you enlarge the photo's you'll be able to see the many large spots or 'stars'.
The pipe bowl measures 5-1/4" long and is 2-3/8" tall. The claws or talons on the pipe are very intricately carved in a "relief" style. This really adds to the beauty and the "real" look of this pipe.
The Stem is made out of beautiful black walnut wood. It is decorated in 2 spots with a fancy beadwork design and leather fringes.
The Eagle Claw pipe is representative of the mother eagle protecting the egg. The egg represents the re-creation of life. This is a never-ending cycle.
