Rouletted Smoking Pipe Stem

One fragment of a smoking pipe stem made of white ball clay with four bands of rouletting. The stem is heavily burned and blackened with an iron concretion that looks like a spur. Appears to be vitrified all the way through due to exposure to an intense fire. The bore hole diameter is 6/64 inches.
