Raven Platform Pipe
Item: PIPE-RAV

This Raven Pipe is a platform pipe design.  Pipes of this design have been found in Illinois at several sites. These sites date from approximately A.D. 100-400.  The original pipes were made from stone.  Numerous styles and designs of platform pipes have been found across many sites in the area.  Most feature animal effigies.

This pipe is hand formed from Native Clay which I dig and process myself.  The details were carved in and it was hand burnished using a polished stone.  It was then fired traditionally in a wood fire which was partially smothered with manure creating the rich colors.

Ravens are traditionally a very good and powerful sign. They are good luck, protection totems, and messengers of wealth.  The power symbols of the Raven and the Crow can be used to counteract bad signs and omens, or to fight against bad signs or spirits.  Traditionally prayer and dance ceremonies of the Raven or Crow are made to make warrior medicine and provide powerful protection from the dangers of war.  There are also ceremonies of the Raven and Crow that are used for power in hunting and healing.
