Very rare and stunningly beautiful, ca1900 Plains Indian / Native American Santee Sioux Catlinite Carved Figural Napkin Ring with a full figure eagle.
This wonderful, sgraffito decorated Figural Napkin Ring measures approx. 4” tall and 1 3/8” by 3” at its base. The Napkin Ring is carved from a single piece of pipestone and features a block-form base with canted front and back panels. The sides of the base are decorated with a stylized, floral sgraffito ...design in the manner of the Santee Sioux. The front and back panels have geometric, surface designs. The ring of the Napkin Ring sits atop the base and perched atop the ring is a wonderful, full figure carving of an eagle (or possibly a hawk). Carved Catlinite Items were produced in the late 19th and early 20th century by a number of Northern Plains Tribes and sold to tourists who traveled to the area.
This beautiful hand carved Catlinite Figural Napkin Ring came to us with a number of other, turn of the 20th century Catlinite whimsical carvings from an estate in central Pennsylvania. All of the pieces appear to be of the same age and area of origin.
This fascinating and beautiful Catlinite Figural Napkin Ring is in very good condition. There is a single, tiny nick on one of the bottom corners of the base but no large chips and no breaks, cracks, physical damage or repairs of any kind. The surface has a warm, age appropriate patina and the Nbapkin Ring is stunningly beautiful.
A very rare and very beautiful, ca1900 Plains Indian / Santee Sioux Hand Carved Catlinite Figural Napkin Ring with a full figure eagle and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
