• NATIVE AMERICAN MIDDLE WOODLAND
  NATIVE AMERICAN MIDDLE WOODLAND STONE EFFIGY PIPENative America, Midwestern / Southern USA, Middle Woodland period, ca. 200 to 1000 CE. A fascinating pipe, hand-carved from greenish-gray stone to display a tubular shank with a petite airhole at one end and a raised bowl at the other. An anthropomorphic head adorns the end of the pipe, presenting an ovoid visage with recessed eyes, a button nose, and a large, open mouth, perhaps intended to mimic the facial expression of the smoker. A thick, elevated band wraps around the mid-section of the shank to increase gripping ability. Size: 5" L x 1.4" W x 2" H (12.7 cm x 3.6 cm x 5.1 cm) Smoking pipes played an important role in Eastern Woodland culture, which spanned from sub-Arctic Canada to the southern United States. The earliest evidence we have for the use of tobacco in this area comes from ca. 100 to 200 CE; in addition to tobacco, and often prior to it, we know from ethnohistorical accounts that people smoked a variety of other plants, including dogwood, juniper, sumac, and bearberry. These pipes were not just made for the simple act of smoking; they seem to have had a strong religious component as well, and various archaeological sites from the period, including the Hopewell Mound sites, have the remains of hundreds of destroyed platform pipes, including effigy ones like this. Others were buried with their owners individually.
