Description

This undated pottery pipe was made by Cherokee potter Gwen Conseen. Its spherical form was built using the coil method. The pipe bowl and the snake form were modeled and added over the sphere. The earthenware clay was burnished to a light sheen before the designs were incised into the surface of the clay. A variety of designs create an overall patterned surface on this piece.
