No brand. I ordered from Etsy, from a Turkish pipe maker. AKB is way more expensive than this ?
It's exceptionally well carved though. It's very crisp and detailed in the important bits, yet the lines are soft around the cuff and it transitions to a smooth stem. The egg and talons are wonderfully smooth, without any little motifs. The result is that whole thing pops. I expect the carver will become a name with signed pipes. You got a real beaut.

Yeah man, actually, I don't really mind even if it's not hand carved. I even told the seller that. And I told her, if it's really hand carved, it's a very fine piece of art! She 2 times, 3 times reassured me, it's hand carved. And showed me the video of their pipe made. So.... i take it as it's hand carved. But it doesn't matter, coz it's really very nice! ?
