The first thing, which catches the attention about this luxury creation, is the harmony among color, texture, and general shape of the pipe. The general structure of the pipe is very remarkable. Acrobatic manner of carving makes the pipe even more interesting and wise extension of bamboo adds more value on it. This charming Elephant Foot-Bamboo smoking pipe, which is the good example of graceful taste of Kando, offers almost unbelievable tight-lines of briar on the both sides and pretty nice bird eyes pattern on the Foot. Mouthpiece is made of German ebonite with the black and red texture to emphasize the finish of the briar.
