Summary/Abstract: Presented here is a rare complete Ottoman smoking pipe made of dark gray clay and highly burnished. The pipe is decorated with intricate arabesque garlands, impressed palm branches, leaves, and rouletted patterns. This pipe seems to be locally made, probably in the seventeenth or eighteenth century, combining local elements, such as the floralpattern, and imported ones.
