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

The man at the fore of this pipe from AKB Meerschaum looks to be wearing a Civil War-era Kepi and an expression that speaks to me of great distress. Is he just beginning to comprehend the nature of the horrors around him? Has he been wounded? Lost a friend perhaps? Maybe he's under fire, but regardless of how you interpret it, his visage is stunningly rendered by the hands of the artisan who carved him. Paired to a demurely curved amber stem, the contours of his face and the expanse of his cap will darken with patina to better match the stem's hues.
