19th Century Carved bamboo, brass and terracotta pipe. A wood carved frog sits near the junction of bamboo and brass elements. In very good condition overall. Of note are two stress fractures running parallel along the length of the mouth piece. Also, the base of terracotta bowl has been skillfully reattached to metal portion with adhesive at some point.
