Designed by Cyrus E. Dallin. It appears, based on the version in Salt Lake City, below, that the statue originally carried a pipe, which is now missing.

3. Massasoit Statue in Salt Lake City, Utah
In 1922 Dallin presented the original plaster figure to the State of Utah. A bronze copy was placed in the gardens in front of the building, perhaps to honor Cyrus Dallin and to make a connection between Utah and the early history of the nation.
