Description: | An incomplete clay pipe of modern date. The stem is the element which has suffered the most damage: it has been broken longitudinally and has suffered losses on both of its sides. It terminates in an elaborate, joined two-piece bowl which takes the form of a female head. The bowl is 42.3mm maximum height and the hollow has an internal diameter of 17.1mm. The lady depicted is wearing a collared jacket and peaked cap suggesting she was a contemporary lady jockey. The facial features are well-defined and the hair depicted in a bun. Unfortunately, neither the jockey nor the maker has been able to be identified. It could have been that a maker's mark was lost when the sides were damaged; several contemporary makers could have made such a pipe. This pipe was made in England in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, probably in London. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1880
