PipeD 1921.201 B

Elaborately carved pipe with human and animal figures. One human figure is wearing a European frock coat. Uppermost animal figure has some characteristics of a beaver, e.g. large incisors and cross-hatched tail, yet these are subverted , i.e. the incisors protrude from the lower jaw, and the animal has two tails. Equally the other two figures are nonsensical when compared to crest designs (Gillian Crowther).; Good
