One pipe features a light-coloured bowl with a darkened rim, and another is carved with a rustic figural motif. A textured rusticated finish is present on two examples. The pipes are fitted with stems made of horn and composite resins, some accented with metal bands. The tavern pipe displays a wooden stem section with a cord-bound joint and a curved mouthpiece. Legible marks include a small M and a number 14 on two separate black stems, while other components bear indistinct stamped characters. Length: 33 cm.
