At first glance the pipe looks very modest however on closer inspection this is an incredible piece of  artistry. Bold vertical stripes of grain reminding one of flames wrap around the ball shaped bowl and the shank. As the straight grain drapes around the bottom curvature it melts into beautiful birdseye that is ornamented with angel hair. The diminished rim also displays a pretty ring of  birdseye.  A silver band is added as a final signature of class. A virtuosic item of workmanship.
