Tobacco smoking pipe with a faceted, hand-carved bowl in reddish-brown wood (likely briar or a similar hardwood), the exterior worked all over with short diagonal knife-cut striations giving a textured, rustic finish; the bowl’s rim is octagonal/many-faceted rather than a plain circle. The stem is a smooth, dark-stained straight length terminating in a flattened, slightly tapered bit, with a raised turned ring where the stem meets the shank.
A hand-carved or artisan-made pipe, the deliberate faceted texturing distinguishing it from a mass-produced factory pipe of the same period.
