NATIVE AMERICAN BIRD EFFIGY PIPE.

A fine example of a steatite bird effigy pipe measuring 10 1/2" in length & approx. 3 1/4" in height. Bird appears to be an eagle w/ wings tucked in & feet tucked under simulating a dive towards prey. There is an old collection tag on the bottom that reads, “Ex. B W Stephens Quincy, IL 1950s A-F676”. CONDITION: there are several usage chips around the top edge of the bowl & several more around the mouthpiece. There is a sm. fissure near the head that does not go through the entire pipe. The balance of the pipe shows expected, but not extraordinary wear & tear. (02-15336/BF). $1,000-2,000.
