Folk Art Ash Burl Hand Pipe

Circa: 1840-1860
Size: 4 3/4" (l) x 3 1/2 (h)
I’ve seen a few hand pipes over the years—and this is hands down (pun intended) the very best! Not only for the choice burl specimen or the rich patina, but also for the first-rate modeling and carving of the hand.

Measuring a little less than life-size (so you can cup it in your hand), the fingers are well defined, and the thumb lifts to reveal a tin lined bowl a tin heart.

Best of kind!
