a lustrous ivory pipe branded with amaranths

Smooth, lustrous ivory, polished and inlaid with mosaicking shards of garnet, forms the swelling curves of this pipe. Vines of curling amaranth have been burnt along the stem of the pipe, providing a stark contrast to the glimmering white background. The bowl of the pipe swells outwards, bursting into bloom from the central chamber in blood red shards of gemstone that glitter menacingly beneath the light. The interior of the bowl is lined with tarnished gold, a motif echoed in the fluted mouthpiece at the far end of the pipe.
