AKB Meerschaum: Carved Ram (Kenan) (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

One of the most finely carved figural meerschaums I have ever seen, this Ram from Kenan of AKB Meerschaum gazes forward from the stummel with soft eyes, betraying the incredible horns which the creature possesses. These horns are striated finely with much care, incredibly lifelike in their presentation, pushing out from the greater part of the stummel and urging slightly forward, their points twisting inward on themselves. Though I can't say that it would actively use these curling spirals unless in defense, as I cannot stop thinking of the gentle demeanor this ram exudes, a thick wreath of bushy wool framing its face. A lengthy acrylic stem shoots out from a dramatically angled shank, its marbled amber surface festooned with a myriad of expansion rings, its hues matching with the dark stain of the meerschaum.
