Can you show pictures of inside the Bowl and the Stem? It looks like Steatite which gives it a really good chance of being ancient and not modern. Great looking Pipe!
By the way, I gave you a vote for the Banner. Complete Pipes are rare finds and it deserves being there. Hope more people do the same.
What does banner actually mean?
Every find is a new learning experience, a door or a window to the past, your exquisite pipe has introduced me to a new genre of pipes and their evolution of decoration. Thank you, BANNER!
Congratulations on your banner. I saw the link you posted about the Mississipian style and think you nailed it if found in that region. It is rare as they are always broken if found at all.
