Carved Man with Bavarian Hat (with Case) Tobacco Pipe

A grumpy looking man in a Bavarian Hat is depicted in this figural design from AKB. He's smoking a pipe of his own, so maybe he's not all bad, but his sour expression and downcast gaze certainly gives him an agitated disposition. Like most of the pipes from AKB, this piece is rendered from pale, porous meerschaum and finely carved to really bring character and life to the man. From the base of his skull, a shank extends upward and marries an arcing stem of amber-hued acrylic, which should ensure a comfortable smoking posture. With time and use, the stummel will patinate, taking on tans, browns, and golds.
