The bowl looks to be made of the same material as faturan prayer beads which are VERY expencive..I have been colecting for many years and have not seen a pipe bowl made of this material

The pipe has been smoked but probably not over 10 times in a hundred years and is clean inside and out

The original eBay seller got it in an estate salein a box with dishes and costume jeweleryand knew nothing of pipes..one minuite after he pisted it I bought it
