I normally prefer classic shapes in meers, and although I like to look at figurals and ornate carvings, this is the first one that I was really drawn to.

First Yanik, first ornately carved meer, first volcano, and first non-white meer:

That's some exquisite carving, sharp and clear, that really sets off the geometry of the work. Also, I like the chair-leg stem, and especially its dash of color to set off the carving. I like a pipe with some of those design extras that give it a distinctive look. I hope it smokes every bit as well as it looks good.
