An ivory and silver pipe features a long stem oriented diagonally. A yellowish-tan ivory section tapers toward the upper right, while a shorter, reddish-brown ivory section points lower left. Joining them, an embossed silver band features raised patterns. Atop this metal sits a rounded, square red bowl with a small central opening. The smooth ivory ends are finished with circular flat surfaces.
