Locomotive pipe

Hand carved, functional, smoking pipe, inspired by an illustration from "Il libro delle Pipe" (The Book of Pipes) by the famous Italian novelist Dino Buzzati, and Eppe Ramazzotti" (first edition: 1945). The bizarre illustrations were all made by the authors. My interpretation of the pipe is 17 cm in total length and it is made of Tuscanian briar (with no stains) and ebonite stem. It has a wooden stand, box, soft bag, and signed certificate.
