Opium Pipe

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts an opium pipe by artist unidentified. The pipe has a long, thin wooden stem with a tapered, rounded end. The stem's color transitions from dark wood at the end to light wood towards the middle. A metal band with intricate designs encircles the stem near the middle. Attached to the metal band is a small, square-shaped red bowl. The bowl is positioned at an angle, with one corner pointing towards the end of the stem. The background is a gradient from dark to light gray. The pipe casts a shadow on the surface below.
