content: PROVENIENCE NOTE: GIVEN TO THE COLLECTOR, DR. GEORGE C. RUHLE, BY JOE CALF CHILD, A SIKSIKA NORTHERN BLACKFOOT INDIAN FROM GLEICHEN, ALBERTA, AT THE CALGARY STAMPEDE DURING THE EARLY 1930'S. (GLEICHEN LIES 40 MILES EAST OF CALGARY.)

content: From card: "Cravat or beaded necktie. Rectangular neck band with two hide thong ties at each end and large curved central pendant. Decorated with seed beads in lazy stitch, geometric and floral designs. Given to Dr. Ruhle by Joe Calf Child, a N. Blackfoot Indian from Gleichen, Alberta, at the Calgary Stampede during the early 1930's. Note: Beaded neckties began to be worn by Blackfoot Indians on dress occasions as early as World War I. Mrs. Nora Spanish, Piegan, told me she made one of them for her stepfather, Wades-in-the-Water, about 1917. I saw and photographed fullblood Piegan Indians wearing such ties with their beaded buckskin shirts at sun dances and other ceremonial occasions during the early 1940's. - jce [John C. Ewers]."

THE BROAD SHALLOW MARKINGS OF THE BOWL FRAG ARE TYPICAL OF THE IROQUOIS TYPEOF PIPE-COMMON 1630-1720 CALLED CORDED BOWL. IT IS AN "L" SHAPED PIPE WITH A SLIGHT LEAN AWAY FROM THE SMOKER TO THEBARREL AND THE ONLY ORNAMENTATION IS THE CORD MARKS WHICH RUN DOWN THE BOWL FROM THE RIM TO JUST ABOUT THE MIDDLE, WHERE IT TERMINATES-USUALLY WITH A LINE OF DOT'S AROUND THE BOWL. BELOW THIS ORNAMENTATION THE PIPE USUALLY MAKES A GRACEFUL CURVE INTO THE STEM. THE STEM FRAG IS WITHOUT A DOUBT OF INDIAN MANUFACTURE AS I EVIDENCED BY THE OFF- CENTER STEM HOLE. ANY MOULD-MADE PIPE OF THAT SIZE WOULD HAVE A STEM HOLE CLOSER TO THE CENTER. THERE ARE NO REED MARKINGS IN THE HOLE, BUT IT DOES SHOW THE HEAT COLORATION FROM A BURNED OUT STEM FILLER"
