A cylindrical pipe features a stem of segmented, dark reddish-orange horn. Toward the left, an ornate silver mount wraps the body, inset with three small amber and blue stones. Atop this mount sits a white ceramic bowl painted with red and black motifs and dark script. Scalloped edges and organic patterns detail the silverwork, while the horn stem tapers slightly to an open mouthpiece on the far right.
