A long, slender pipe extends diagonally, honey-colored wood forming the shaft. Thin, dark rings are interspersed at regular intervals along the polished surface. Near the center, the wood transitions into a dark, encrusted section mottled with red and black, containing a small bowl with a charred opening. A smooth, off-white disc caps the lower end. The blackened portion contrasts with the honey tones and orderly pattern of the wood.
