At the wider end of pipe, a round stone bowl that is hollow in the centre flares out at the top and tapers around the neck and flares out slightly at its base. This is attached to the wooden pipe stem at the wider end by a piece of skin cording that is wrapped around the base of the bowl and is joined by a knot with another piece of skin cording that has been wrapped around the tapered end and extends the length of the pipe to the centre. Located on the side of the pipe is a handwritten inscription which is illegible.
