Description

Pipe with a bowl made from an unidentified metal and a stem made of wood. The bowl has a shallow concavity at the top, with a hole that continues through to the stem. A strip of copper is inlaid around the rim of the bowl, and on the underside of the bowl is a series of incisions with dark staining. The pipe stem is in two longitudinal sections that have been bound together with a thong made of hide, which also wraps around a flange at the base of the bowl, fastening it to the stem.
