Description
This is a hand-crafted anthropomorphic clay pipe, originating from East Africa. These types of pipes are more than just functional smoking tools; they are frequently considered prestige items or ceremonial objects.
The most striking feature is the bowl, which is sculpted into a highly stylized human face. The facial features are characteristic of African mask traditions
The clay has a dark smoked finish, giving it a deep charcoal black color with a slight earthy sheen. Â The pipe has a long, slender stem that tapers toward the mouthpiece. This length helps cool the smoke before it reaches the user.
Near the center of the stem, there are visible rings or decorative bands carved into the clay, providing both a better grip and aesthetic detail.
 The interior of the bowl shows a hand-formed cavity with a small hole leading into the stem.
 In most parts of Africa, decorated pipes were symbols of social status, wealth, and authority.
