The plains pipe represents the most common style of ceremonial pipe used- from the western Ohio Valley to the Rockies, and from the Arkansas River to the pains of southern Canada. Because the ceremonial pipe was often used to bind a treaty or a period of peace, it became widely known as the "Peace Pipe." Choose from wooden stems of two varieties: those which have been split, grooved and then glued back together, and those such as sumac which have a pithy core that is burned out with a hot wire. Choose the desired stem and length of your pipe from the drop-down box above, and the corresponding price will show. This pipe is available in 15" (38 cm), 23" (58 cm) and 30" (76 cm) length. This is the approximate size when the Stem and Bowl are joined together. Exact size and shape varies as the pipes are hand carved. The photo is a representative sample.
