This pipe may be of Kiowa origin. It was donated in 1962 to the Kansas Historical Society. The fine grained stone was carved and polished into its final shape and used heavily, as is shown by the traces of tobacco residue and burning on the bowl and stem edges. Later the bowl broke into two pieces, which were repaired prior to donation.
