Calumet stem
Descriptions
Object Description
Round, calumet-style stem lacking the pendent fan of a classic calumet (McLaughlin 2002). Bowl supports at each end suggest that this stem was unfinished. Branch knots on the stem, further enhanced with burning and incised marks, were retained as a form of decoration. Stains on stem indicate the former presence of a now-lost silk ribbon. See conservation report for additional information.
