Peace pipe Indian

The Indian peace pipe is a 45 cm brown ceremonial pipe with an eagle head at one end and beaded strands with black pendants hanging below. During carnival or at a western party, you hold it in your hand as a chief, giving your Indian costume an instantly recognizable accessory. It is suitable for both women's and men's outfits.

Colors, beads and length of the peace pipe

• The pipe measures 45 cm, long enough to hold out in front of you with two hands.
• The stem is brown and features painted bands in red and orange in the middle, with small turquoise diamonds.
• At one end is a white eagle head with a yellow beak, positioned right next to the head of the pipe.
• Two grey, fluffy cuffs are wrapped around the stem.
• Strands of red, green, yellow and wood-colored beads hang below the stem, along with three bunches of black tassels and two oval pendants featuring an eagle print.
• A light brown cord is attached to both ends, allowing you to hang the pipe on the wall as well.

What does a peace pipe represent in an Indian look?

A peace pipe represents consultation and the making of peace. Among various indigenous peoples in North America, a ceremonial pipe was smoked during important agreements, and the expression "to smoke the peace pipe" entered the Dutch language from this practice. In a costume, the pipe therefore makes you instantly recognizable as a tribal chief or wise elder, rather than a hunter or warrior with a bow and arrow.

The peace pipe in a complete chief look

You will receive only the pipe, so you must put together the rest of the outfit yourself. A brown or sand-colored suit or dress with fringes matches the color of the stem, and a headdress completes the chief look. Choose red and turquoise beads for your necklace or bracelets to echo the accents of the painted bands throughout your entire look. Add black braids to complete the silhouette.

Order the Indian peace pipe and give your chief costume something to proudly hold during carnival.
