4" Horn Hairpipe Red 10st

Bone Hair pipe history is long in North America. Thousands of years before Bone Hair pipe became popular, tube-shaped beads, often tapered at both ends, were used as decorative elements by the Native Americans of North America. Later, they were made into necklaces, chokers and most strikingly, into breastplates. The increase in demand for Hair pipe led to the need for a less expensive, more durable material. In the later 19th century, Bone became the material of choice.
