A slender wooden pipe stretches horizontally. A flared, pale-green jade mouthpiece caps the left end of the tapered brown stem. Centered, an ornate silver sleeve is etched with scrolling patterns and inset with red and green gems. From this band, a rounded jade bowl rises on a silver mount. The stem continues past a small wooden knot before terminating in a cylindrical jade tip with dark, mossy inclusions.
