Ancient bongs

[Bong75]

Several years ago, on the antiquities market place in the collection of antiques too as some private museum in a couple of provinces, there was a sort antiques special. That's the old bong, produced of brass or earthenware. They looked pretty much the same three components, one particular is elected mouthpiece, a mouthpiece can be a soup as well as a defection. Mouthpiece and mouthpiece vote is cast or molded consecutive block.



Elected as a mouthpiece shapes pyrethrum flowers are blooming level, elected physique from the petals fused together lemurs, the mouth is shaped like a block vote pistil protrude into the practically circular hemisphere. The connection between physique and mouth as sharp ridges. Mouth round vote, please vote in the funnel-shaped hollow, the bottom features a hole in the center in the tube is smaller cast.



Boss of a round tube shapes, slightly scaled back, the front pipe bend upward, linked together with the bottom surface in the pipe elected dorsal orientates towards the front of about one hundred degrees with all the horizontal tubes vote. Outer tube elected term decorate parts of pyrethrum flowers embossed written into the leaves and incised rings forming stem.



Personnel parts pipe is plugged in to the external cage or stick towards the inside in the pipe election, with small round-shaped tube lengths usually are not fixed, is made of brass or may possibly be a small bamboo tube.



Besides the common characteristics as mentioned above, if they observe specific expression could be divided into a number of categories. As a result of the amount of only four units, we can determine two broad categories.



Type 1: Bong is created of two types of material: brass forming the outer shape in the pipe, terracotta is inside the physique. In the brass section was completed very first, the earthenware created later. A flower-shaped pipe pyrethrum consists of all of the parts: stigma, wing, shoots, leaves, flower stalks are cast inside a mold at the exact same time. The detailed decorations on the surface appears fairly clear and vivid. There are blueprints pattern is cast nicely because the top edge in the petals, the petals of accurate leaves into cubes floating on top rated, the bottom in the end of sepals, two pairs of dots floating flowers form in two towards the left side from the mouthpiece. Also have written but the only sink forming veins in the petals, in to the bottom horizontal curve, petals, sepals above, the lower sepals. The finish of the mouthpiece is just not decorated, slightly scaled back to very easily put into the pipe rolling. Pipes are posing real balance and harmony: the pyrethrum flower is shown very lively, quite delicate mixture in between concrete realization in the generalized image. Casting tactics to make patterns to create documents for this type of pipe can be mentioned is very complicated, cautiously laid out calls for the highest accuracy. Furthermore, after casting completed outside, and must do more operate on the clay plaster inside funnel shaped physique elected ... then inserted into the pipe clay vote, making use of a modest stick by way of the hole blown via the clay to produce the tube by means of the bottom from the hopper election of elected mouthpiece. The last step is the sticky element baked clay. At this point, viewed as a new pipe is deemed complete.



Modest vessels from the sort 1, total length of about 7 cm, about four.five cm, about 2 cm greater vote defection. 2 cm wide mouth pipe, in to the mouth 0:15 cm thick, 0.7 cm high mouth parts, 1.5 cm high elected physique, elected the bottom about two cm, the tube about two cm high vote, about 6 cm (the horizontal, significant diameter from 0.8 cm (rear) to 1.five cm (front), the tube hole 0.three cm wide vote.



Type 2: Bong is produced of two varieties of clay with color and different calcination. The clay is light black smooth slightly yellowed with high levels heating, solid bone ... made the outside from the pipe. This can be a kind of pyrethrum flowers which basically looks related to a flower in variety 1 contains adequate parts elected mouthpiece and mouthpiece, with all the pistil to block the mouth of election, the elected physique as petals . Pipe upstream of the election and form flower buds the following section towards the stem (was broken). The outside pipe of this sort slitting and drawing documents for the decorative embossed specifics of pyrethrum flowers. The petals on the body is divided into two classes vote. The top rated layer: where the petals are two curved lines drawn vertically then down two sen; inside the petals are the parallel lines vertically to create the veins from the petals; the leading of Petals is a well-liked ridges cut into short segments corresponding to the width of each and every petal. Bottom layer, the petals are slightly larger at the same time, the bottom edge from the petals have two lines around the bottom half in the mouth and lower portion in the elected body is decorated pipe lines parallel the belt around . The pre-shaped tubes sepals elected decorated patterns covered pot leaves form a flat curve at the front to the best and bottom tubes elected. Two left to the flower mouthpiece has four wings outlined below. There is certainly also the parallel lines bent into curved round relief from the leaves on top rated for the bottom mouthpiece. In general, the shape and layout of schemes patterns shown on the kind of pipe is similar to sort on. Song in the decoration could be the acuity lines, a lot more correct pictures, in which realism is clearer and much more common imagery. Immediately after completing the stage to make styles, produce patterns outer pipe, followed by the second paragraph: plaster the inside with clay pipes elected pale yellow tinged with pink because the inside of brown funnel-shaped mouthpiece, and place clay into the mouthpiece. Take little hexagram cross straight along the length of the blow pipe into the clay pore via pipes for the bottom vote. This step is equivalent in kind 1 pipe. Processing tactics of this pipe is somewhat less complex than a song in regards to the kind of image and pattern is somewhat far more attractive, sharp from the pipe and in the decorative scheme.



The size with the bigger vessels on the kind of pipe. Body high and 6 cm, length about five cm, three cm high vote, the mouth high 1.1 cm, two.1 cm high physique, mouth wide elected three cm, thickness 0.1 cm 2.five cm high pipe, pipe diameter 1.1 cm, 0.1 cm thick; elected mouthpiece end of a broken clay pipe inside the intestine was cut to obtain out, so not going to be the width with the vent pipe to vote in the exact same time can not be mentioned rolling pipe put on the inside or outside the mouthpiece.



Type 3: Bong is made of fine clay has been fired nine colors like brick red or brownish yellow. Common shape, texture patterns form a pyrethrum flowers that contains every one of the parts: mouthpiece and mouthpiece elected corresponding parts from the flower like sepals and flower book of pyrethrum flowers. This type of shaping and finishing of parts within a stage. How decorative images show somewhat far more basic and not sharp, not properly defined as kind 1, variety 2. Small long thin petals floating parallel from top to bottom into two classes: the first field or in each and every class or only 3 clusters of 3 dots or parallel lines extremely short; once more beneath the mouth along with the lower pipe elected with only faint outlines with the road. Posted mouthpiece sculpted ribbed leaves each and every leaf rectangular bar many parallel lines, in the top and bottom mouthpiece has written 4 modest flower wing circle to the left side symmetrically. Additionally you will find three parallel lines curving from the upper branches and leaves to generate flowers beneath the bottom edge of the calyx. Behind the flower buds are the flower stalk emerged ridges broken into brief segments equivalent to the project "Inter-" (European particle adjacent lot) front and rear valve as opposed to the European way is the only way song but run around the mouthpiece. the back quite flat mouthpiece. Hollow pipe in to the round hole by way of the bowel elected funnel shaped mouthpiece. Road inside the mouthpiece hole quite huge and frequently extremely convenient to place the bite into the pipe to smoke every time. This kind of bong from engineering to make styles, develop patterns are simpler than the two. With regards to art aren't sharp sufficient, meticulous, sophisticated. A distinct kind of bong also has a decorative pattern is narrow portion is shown at the best from the petals are carved into the a lot more effectively balanced triangle. Leaf at the mouthpiece with the little dotted line runs about the edge with the leaf.



Two bongs of this sort differ in size just isn't huge. A full height of five.5 cm, length 6.5 cm, two.five cm high elected mouthpiece, the mouth 1 cm high, 1.five cm tall, two.4 cm wide mouth. Mouthpiece three cm high, 5.5 cm long, 2 cm wide mouthpiece (front), 1.five cm (the end), pipe diameter 0.9 cm, depth of about 5cm. A height of about 6.6 cm entire length of 7 cm, 3 cm high elected; the mouth 1.2 cm high; physique 1.8 cm, 2.two cm wide mouth; high mouthpiece two cm (front) 1.five cm (rear), 0.9 cm diameter pipe, about 5 cm deep.



Three sorts of bong on the certain differences amongst processing strategies to make designs, create detailed documents to the present layout and decorations. But we also get a kind of pyrethrum flowers as shown image. They are the type of pipe pyrethrum. These art pictures are not picky, but needs meticulous, delicate, soft and stylish because the nature of pyrethrum flowers. A lovely flower shapes, vivid colors, the scent, the ethereal. The ancients do decide on pyrethrum flowers form tassels off the beauty drug issue for a sort of furnishings which is now becoming described as separate objects regardless of human life. However, the kind of pipe pyrethrum showed aesthetic level, pipe processing tactics of his contemporaries reached the degree of exquisite high humane. In all sorts of items from cigarette smoke candles, pipe bowls, cigarette tubes to smoke traditional "modern forms of what he regarded as the achievable should match when it comes to art but far much less when it comes to use application. What he requirements can only smoke inside the residence which is primarily created for the class to wealth, wealth. Kind of pipe pyrethrum flowers are just stunning design, the usability is fairly desirable because it really is little, compact, easily removable mouthpiece bite, carry handy, can suck to get a lengthy time, satisfy the interests of smokers.
