The item is in good condition for it's age. Made completely of a briar wood type material, it is free of any major imperfections & displays well. Minor flaws are present from age & use in the form of dirt & staining, as well as most noticeably a small chip to middle center of the cowl above his hair, as well as a chip to the bottom portion of the cowl on the right side , but they do not take away from this piece at all. The pipe is beautifully detailed all the way around into the shape of a hooded monk or friar's face & features fine facial detailing including hair & teeth. The top of the pipe shows signs of ware & black staining from use but it only adds to coolness of the piece.
