DREAMTIME??

For those who do not trust others while they are "slightly out of this world", here is the ideal tool to give a swift jab to anyone about to make off with the poppies!
A rather unusual Opium pipe with concealed dagger in the middle. I have seen the odd one of these for sale on Ebay, but not often do they appear.
It came, together with the Dha dagger and the "Peacock" opium pipe, from the same local source, and it originates from the Hill Tribes of the Golden Triangle area. The colour photo is from a book called Peoples of the Golden Triangle and illustrates similar pipes, though not with internal daggers. Total length of the pipe is 15", and the bowl has been shaped as a Lotus Flower.
The "Peacock" pipe is the real thing but I have seen smaller copies made of different material in the Bangkok markets. Both pipes have been well used judging by the bowls.
Something a bit different.
