This is an antique Meerschaum Cheroot pipe, hand-carved in Turkey. The piece was carved very intricately, sometime in the 1800s, and depicts a wild Stallion. It consists of a genuine Amber mouthpiece (cracked and has been repaired in the past), Meerschaum body, and Wood tip you would insert the Cheroot cigar or pinch of tobacco into. The pipe was loved greatly by its previous owner but is in great condition overall considering the age of the piece.

A Cheroot is a thin cigar, open at both ends, and sometimes slightly tapered. A Meerschaum pipe is a smoking pipe made from the mineral Sepiolite, also known as Meerschaum. Meerschaum (German for "sea foam") is oftentimes found floating on the Black Sea in Turkey and is rather suggestive of seafoam. You can also find Meerschaum in Tanzania and parts of Pennsylvania. When smoked, meerschaum pipes gradually change color, and old meerschaum pipes will turn incremental shades of yellow, orange, red, and amber from the base up.
