Opium for the people

An emergency blip, taken at about 23.55!

This is an opium pipe brought back from India early last century by one of my Mum's relatives (Uncle Alf, I think), though I think it's actually Chinese. Hastily dusted off before the photo, my Gran would have been horrified that it hasn't been polished in over a year: she used to polish it within an inch of its life on a weekly basis!
