A slender pipe extends diagonally, dark-brown wood meeting hammered metal ends. At the lower left, a tiny brass bowl sits atop a section faceted with hexagonal impressions. The smooth wooden stem transitions into a matching sleeve toward the upper right. This metallic portion tapers until it meets a flared, silver-colored mouthpiece. Light glints off the hammered facets, contrasting against the dark, polished surface of the central wood stem.
