Please note there maybe slight differences in design as they are hand made, bead colours maybe different and patterns also

This is a lovingly handmade reproduction Native American pipe made by Nanang Designs from real wood and real feathers.

They are based on the classic pipes of the American tribes such as the Sioux and Navajo.

These lovingly reproduced pipes combine all the traditional elements of a peace pipe and are a great addition to any collection.

All are made from real carved wood, feathers, fur (where pictured and synthetic of course) and beads.

They are made by a family run business and we sourced the product personally from Nanang and his family.

We post our pipes in high quality postal tubes to ensure they arrive to you in great condition.

Background

Peace Pipes are synonymous with Native American culture. More information on their significance can be found here.

Sacred Pipe, also called Peace Pipe or Calumet, one of the central ceremonial objects of the Northeast Indians and Plains Indians of North America, it was an object of profound veneration that was smoked on ceremonial occasions. Many Native Americans continued to venerate the Sacred Pipe in the early 21st century.

The Sacred Pipe was revered as a holy object, and the sacrament of smoking was employed as a major means of communication between humans and sacred beings; the narcotic effect of tobacco and the symbolism of the indrawn and ascending smoke affirmed that such communication took place. The pipe itself was a symbolic microcosm. Its parts, its colours, and the motifs used in its decoration each corresponded to essential parts of the indigenous universe. The pipe was smoked in personal prayer and during collective rituals, and both of these uses commonly began with invocations to the six directions: east, south, west, north, skyward, and earthward. Among some tribes such as the Pawnee, Omaha, and Crow, complex pipe dances were developed that presented smoke offerings to the Almighty on behalf of the entire community.

All our native American items are made by Nanang.  They are fairly traded items based on the designs of the Native American Tribes.
