content: Collector's notes: "This small pipe is used for smoking tobacco. I have seen it used by workmen in the oases. I'm enclosing a photo [now in the accession file] of a kiln on Bahrain. The workman pictured is smoking a similar pipe. Aramco World Nov-Dec 1964, p. 21 [see copy in the accession file] "

content: Disassembled pipe in three parts. The stem is a piece of hollow reed or bamboo. At the center is a ridge made of padded fabric. One end is wrapped in fabric, shiny metallic paper, and cotton thread. The stone piece is made of greenish beige stone. It is a hollow cone shape, with the narrow end at the bottom. The wide end is open, and there is another hole at one side. The pipe bowl (or mouthpiece?) is unglazed white ceramic, thrown on a potter's wheel. Hollow. Narrow at the center, and flared at the base. Top is bowl-shaped with protruding lip and zig-zag line incised just below the lip.
