AKB Meerschaum: Carved Bearded Man with Cap (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

The beard of this meerschaum man creates a striking, angular profile that's actually quite aerodynamic. The man it is attached to, however, appears to be lost in a deep existential crisis, his furrowed brows and worried eyes leading me to believe that he has found answers to questions he never should have asked. He does wear a jaunty beret, however, so at least he's fashionably morose, and his pale white surfaces promise future patination that will match with the curved, amber-hued stem as he is smoked.
