<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4531063, member: 10944"]I’m pretty sure the functional pipes that were actually used were much smaller and lighter. I think these are relatively modern fantasy pieces inspired by real artifacts. I could be wrong but I’ve never seen a “real” one on this scale. Then again it was a communal activity meant to be passed around and they may have had weak wild tobacco that wasn’t trimmed in as refined a manner as now. So maybe some cultures would want a huge bowl. Pretty sure something like this wasn’t actually used though. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will think differently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
