COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
Ben Rapaport, Collecting Antique Meerschaum Pipes, Schiffer Publishing Ltd, 1999.
Related pipe bowls carved in the round and featuring mythical subjects combined with seductive classical maidens are mainly attributed to centres of meerschaum craftsmanship in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, circa 1880. For further examples see pages 109-111.
