Rusticated Horn with Brass (Silver) Tobacco Pipe

A handy little slip of a Horn, this Heding design sports an alert, upright posture, which aside from serving to emphasize a light and active aesthetic, also benefits the feel in hand (much more convenient than the more common, dramatically canted approach) as well as keeping the deep chamber upright when the pipe is dangled from the jaw. He's finished this piece in a simple but handsome style, with a lightly-textured rustication, a charcoal-black stain, and a solid ring of softly-contoured brass.
