Calumet by Tom Connin with Ken Hamilton and James Blake for Richard Guthrie

This is not a copy of a old original, since there's not one that did survive. It's suppose to represent a Calumet from the South East. There are accounts of them and two poor drawings from the period, but that's it. There are Pipe Bowls from the SE that have survived and this one is a copy of one of those. Would like to mention that Ken Hamilton made the Pipe Bowl and James Blake made the Woodpecker Bills, the rest was my work.
