Pipe has two hoses joining to black stopper at one end held with white string.

    One hose is long and black [rubber] with white and green synthetic [string] wound around entire length, in places wound with wire and occasional accent stripes of purple string, ending in a wooden mouthpiece. The other hose is a shorter pipe, ending with turned wooden attachments and a metal collar, appears to be designed to attach to another part.
