Antique, French, coconut pipe. Mouth piece is made from gold-tone metal.
France, late 18th century - early 19th century
Size: 7.5 cm W x 12 cm H
Coconut shell powder flasks were reputedly carved by sailors or soldiers who visited the East or West Indies in the late 18th/early 19th centuries, and had access to green coconut shells which were easier to carve than dried ones.
A very unique and highly collectable item rarely found.
