A dark brown wood and ivory opium pipe has a long, gnarled, and knobby stem. One end terminates in a smooth, dark reddish-brown cap, while the other features a pale ivory cap with a small central hole. Near the ivory tip, a deep, worn indentation with dark residue is recessed into the upper surface of the wood.
