A stone and enamel pipe features a long, dark-green stem, its polished surface flecked with light green. Slanting diagonally, the stem is interrupted near the lower end by an ornate, multicolored band supporting a bulbous bowl. Intricate patterns in gold, blue, and red enamel decorate these central elements. The stem continues to smooth, uniform ends, creating a sleek silhouette that balances natural stone with vibrant, detailed ornamentation.
