Tobacco Pipe Holder

Joseon · 1F · Medieval and Early Modern History · Joseon 3

This is a stand for hanging long tobacco pipes, made up of the pipe-hanging part, a central post, and a base. The hanging part is a four-ring form of four circular hoops fitted onto the top of the post; the post is a cylinder that widens toward the bottom and ends in a lotus-bud shape at the top, finely incised with a flower-and-leaf motif. The base is a disk with an upright rim and a short foot.
