an inlaid lead Mandan pipe

[larson1951]

I have a friend that lives up north quite a ways where the knife river meets the missouri river
this had mandan. arikara, and hidatsa tribes in the area
he found this pipe about 60 years ago when he went to check the cows
it had rained heavy the night before
he found it on a cow path
i have seen it a while back and finally got a chance to hook up with him and take these images

Steve, check out this Pipe a guy from South Dakota just sent me. It's a repro done by a guy named Iron Heart but it's still a very cool piece.

Hope you had a great Christmas and you have a Happy New Year, my friend.
