This is a true, good & faithful representative of the “NARGHILE” Family, a real Cocoanut pipe, mounted in Silver with good native work. The shell has evidently been selected for its graceful shape. & the native artificer has done his work lovingly.. The “Chillums” beneath are of different material that on the left is of Silver & although Sir Walter Raleigh smoked a pipe of silver still in these days in Europe all metals are avoided for bowls. The Chillum on the right is from “LUCKNOW” perforated rim of glazed Pottery. Biscuit colour ground with green pattern & Ruby spots or Knobs.
