EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Ohio Hopewell culture, dating back to 200 BC-100 AD. The Falcon effigy pipe is an exquisite example of ancient craftsmanship, made from pipestone and river pearl. Standing at a height of 8.3 cm, this zoomorphic carving depicts a stylized bird of prey with intricate details. The green hue of the pipestone adds to its allure, while the platform on which it rests enhances its presentation. This pre-Columbian treasure offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of North American native tribes during the Woodland period. The Falcon effigy pipe symbolizes both artistic expression and practicality as it served as a functional smoking instrument for ceremonial or personal use. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic beauty but also in its connection to spiritual beliefs and rituals practiced by these ancient civilizations. Preserved in private collection, this artifact holds immense historical value and provides valuable insights into the ingenuity and creativity of indigenous peoples who inhabited these lands centuries ago. Through this photograph captured by Dirk Bakker, we are able to appreciate the artistry behind this extraordinary piece without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
