The pipe has a warm wood shaft, brass/bronze metal bowl section, a pale bead spacer, and a green hardstone-style mouthpiece.The form is consistent with an East Asian / Japanese kiseru-style tobacco pipe, with a long narrow stem and small metal bowl. The green mouthpiece appears to be stone or hardstone, possibly jade, jadeite, serpentine, or similar material, but it has not been tested and is not guaranteed as jade.The pale bead spacer appears to be bone or another natural material, with visible age lines and cracking.
