This set has it all! It has a peace pipe, a lance, and bow and arrows. All three of these artifacts were masterfully hand crafted. They each feature a generous portion of genuine soft buckskin leather, intricately hand made seed bead work, and genuine feathers. The peace pipe features a buckskin medicine bag and a genuine deer horn bowl. Plus, the arrows and lance have genuine bone tips. The bow has a length of 48" and the arrows are 26-1/4" long. The total length of the peace pipe is 29". This lance measures about 61" including the 5-1/2" bone tip. These artifacts were meant for display purposes only. This set was made just down the street from our trading post by some good friends of Richard's. Some of the artists can be seen in the photos.The objects man makes are called artifacts, and every artifact, whether it is beautiful or ugly, crude or refined, utilitarian or ceremonial, is a reflection and product of man's skills, his techniques, his arts. Artifacts reflect the ideas, the concepts, and the knowledge acquired or learned as a member of a tribe. Members of a particular tribe use certain techniques, and create a particular style because that is their tradition. |
