Paula says - "This feather pipe drop is made of turkey feathers hand painted to resemble Owl feathers, with brass beads, imitation sinew laces and wraps of red trade cloth. Each pipe drop is made by hand so the feather patterns on the one you receive may differ slightly from the one pictured here. Read more about plains pipe drops here."
