A prominent flat foot is present beneath the bowl with no discernable makers mark. The tube extends from the base of the bowl, parallel to the foot, extending a short length to a worn break. The circular hole through the tube is slightly off-centre.Pipes such as this are an early form in the typology of clay pipes and would generally date from the mid 17th century. The pipe is 55.3mm long, 22.4mm in diameter at widest point and weighs 19.2g.
