Read Henry Timberlake's description of the peace pipe
The bowl of it was of red stone, curiously cut with a knife, it being very soft, tho’ extremely pretty when polished… The stem is about three feet long, finely advanced with porcupine quills, dyed feathers, deers hair, and such like gaudy trifles.
