Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with a collection of Ottoman ceramic pipes from the Provincial Museum in Travnik, which counts 22 samples. The oldest sample is from the 17th and the earliest from the 19th century. For these pipes from the museum, we find analogies throughout the region, from Novi Sad, Belgrade and Timisoara, to Istria, Zadar, Dubrovnik, etc. Twelve samples were found during archaeological excavation in the yard of Varoska mosque in 2017, while others were from the Travnik Fortress. The samples found in the medieval fortress are now part of the archaeological collection of the Regional Museum Travnik. The pipes are processed by Robinson typological schemas, which are divided into three types: pipes with rounded recipients, pipes with plate base and lily-shaped pipes.
