Pijp en fragment pijpensteel uit het wrak van de Oost-Indiëvaarder 't Vliegend Hart Possibly 1700 - 1735

This artwork consists of a clay pipe and a fragment of a pipestem, salvaged from the wreck of the East India ship 't Vliegend Hart, likely dating back to the early 18th century. The pipe is a simple, utilitarian object, crafted from white clay and featuring a bulbous bowl and a straight stem. This artifact provides a tangible connection to the lives of the ship's crew and the maritime history of the Dutch East India Company. The fragmented state of the pipe and stem suggests its use and the harsh conditions it endured during its journey.
