Bird Pipe: Roosevelt Park, Detroit MI

sketchfab

This pipe likely originated between 1850 and 1910, a period marked by the neighborhood's expansion and eventual teardown for Roosevelt Park, where it was unearthed. Created with a highly ornate bird design, this clay pipe stands out from others found on 19th-century sites. Originally adorned with green, yellow, blue, black, and possibly red pigments, its vibrant colors have faded over time.
