A fine object with expressive, lyrical qualities. The red catlinite pipe bowl was carved by a well-known hand, known as the "Master of the horse". (For similar bowls by the same hand see: N. Feder, Two Hundred years of North American Indian Art, 1965, illustration number 73, and R. Coe, Sacred Circles: Two Thousand Years of American Indian Art, 1977, number 496, p. 186).
