- Bamboo tobacco pipe.
- Long description
- A bamboo tobacco pipe stopped at one end with the chewed skin of areca-nut, while the other end remains completely open. The surface of the pipe is smooth and undecorated, with no dorsal hole present, suggesting it may have been used as a vessel to hold smoke rather than as the pipe directly smoked from.
