A long time ago, my dad had a friend whose parents were archeologists. They gave him a large clump of dirt, with a small black carved foot sticking out. My dad then took a long while, chipping at it with a dental pick, and cleaning it with a toothbrush. Once he was finished, it had turned out to be an Indian pipe! The pipe is in the shape of a naked woman, with one leg extremely longer than the other, which is also the mouth piece. Her back has a hole in it (to insert what ever is to be smoked) She is fairly anatomically correct.. Down there.. as well as her chest. One hand is covering half of her chest while the other rests on her elongated leg.
Sadly, while cleaning it, a small portion of her foot/mouth piece was broken off.
I will have pictures up eventually, I still need some batteries 🙂
He’s had this thing for many years, and today asked me to see if it was worth anything or if I could find anything about it. So far my searches have turned up completely empty.
It was found in Arizona, and we are fairly sure it is Indian.
If anyone could tell me anything about it, or even point me in the direction of something that can help; that would be great!
