A pipe with a black clay bowl and a wooden stem. The bowl is decorated with a seated male figure to the front. His elbows are resting on his knees, with the palms of his hands facing upwards. The section of the bowl which connects to the stem has suffered damage, with some of the material crumbling away. Most of this is bagged with the object.
