Three Sioux pipestems: two carved catlinite stems and one painted wooden stem. The catlinite pieces are reddish-brown, rectangular in profile with incised floral and geometric motifs, notched edges and exposed tenon plugs. The wooden stem is lighter in tone with painted red and black bands and carved linear patterns, with areas of rubbed paint and small chips on the surfaces.Keywords: Sioux, pipestem, pipe stem, catlinite, carved, incised carving, wood, painted bands, red-brown, geometric carving, floral carving, Plains
