Asian Indian Elephant Metal/Wood Decorative Pipe

Size: 12-1/2 Inches H x 3-1/2 Inches W

Markings: None

Weight: Total 2 Oz's.

Condition: Pipe bowl: Very Good, Stem: Also Very Good - I do not think the stem was made for the bowl. It fits if pushed in - but not well. I am including this as I acquired it with the bowl. The bowl is a very nicely made elephant, which I believe is made of tin. There are small what I believe are earrings dangling from his ears & another one
from the end of his raised trunk. The opening is on his head with a metal
hook that hooks to a knob on the back of the head.In my opinion, this is made for decoration. I do not think it would make a good pipe for smoking.

A very unusual and attractive piece for display. Nice patina
