MBSD Meerschaum Masters by Kenan XL Bison Block Meerschaum Pipe, New

Description

MBSD Meerschaum Masters is our line for special, typically figural, meerschaum pipes carved by some of today’s greatest living meerschaum carvers. For this pipe, we enlisted the services of Turkish master Kenan.

Animals have served as popular motifs in meerschaum carving for centuries. Furthermore, there is a group of animals that have been strongly represented in these carvings, with this group having one particular thing in common: hunting. But the animals typically featured in meerschaum carvings tend to have a more “European” bent, or are at least universal figures, such as dogs. For this MBSD Meerschaum Masters pipe, iconic Turkish carver Kenan brought a more “American” creature to his bench, resulting in this extraordinary plains bison (sometimes referred to as a buffalo) design.

Note: this pipe has a small crack on the mane of the bison around its chin. This crack is purely cosmetic and superficial, being just a few millimeters in length and extending less than 1 millimeter into the meerschaum. We have, however, decided to offer this pipe at a significantly reduced price to reflect this.
