This pipe was recovered from the Buresh site, a Middle Ceramic village in Sumner County. The soft, fine grain pipestone enabled the carver to shape and smooth the piece and incise a line around the bowl and add a cross shape to one end. Pipes were used during trade negotiations and to mark special occasions. In Kansas, these pipes are generally made by Native Americans between 1650 to 1850.
