A pipe, featuring a long, ridged brass shaft, extends diagonally toward the upper right. Near the lower left, a silver sleeve with wavy edges holds a small, raised bowl with a flared rim. The shaft terminates in a square opening, while the opposite end is capped with smooth, cream-colored ivory. Parallel ridges run the length of the dark gold shaft, creating a textured, linear appearance.
