Exquisite Mughal Hookah Pipe ends, mid 19th century
*














*
Hookahs were a part of Mughal lifestyle, and were used to smoke tobacco by both men and women.
The base unit containing the tobacco and the water filter was connected to the smoking end, with pipes.
This is a set of ornate royal hookah ends,
each in a unique interesting form: a woman's hand, a crocodile, an elephant, etc.
Rare find.
