Help Identify Pipes

[lurch76]

I picked these up from lady selling some old pipes. I have no clue what they could be. Research turned up nothing.

no idea other than they look pretty old. Without any markings I'd guess they are European (maybe Eastern Europe?).

One option may be to bring them to a museum and ask if the carvings are specific to any region. The more I look at them the more intriguing they are.

I don't know if the pictures turned out where you can see much detail. The top pipe is a nude woman caressing a skull and the bottom pipe is a band of travelers I think. The only real figures that make sense to me on the bottom pipe is one looks like Buddha and there is a man with a fish. The others just seem to be in medieval or Renaissance era clothing.

All I can say is I hope the woman who sold you those looked better than the pipes do

I hope the feds never see the one with the skull.
Those Nannies might mandate them for all pipes.
