Pipe Bowl

Carl Keksi

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a central, carved brown pipe bowl with intricate details and patterns featuring human figures and decorative elements. The color palette mainly consists of shades of brown for the carved pipe, contrasted against a light background. In the upper section of the image, there is a light sketch of a similar bowl shape. Below the main carving, there are two more detailed sketches of the same pipe, depicted in simple line drawings, symmetrically placed on either side. The artist's name, Carl Kahki, is visible near the bottom right of the page.
