Clay pipe bowl moulded as the head of a Black African man. Novelty bowls were sometimes sold or given away at pubs whose names they represented. This one may have been smoked at a pub called ‘The Black’s Head’ or similar. (There is still one with this name in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.)

Dear sir/madame
I have a question concerning refering to (using) this picture (Black African Man Clay Pipe) in an archaeological report where we found a similar pipe from red clay in the town of Söderhamn in east central Sweden. The purpose is to refer to similar finds. If it is possible to use it; how do You want me to refer to it?
I work at the National Historical Museums of Sweden as project manager and field archaeologist.
