Snuff Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by Imperial Workshop. The object is a round, bronze-colored snuff bottle with a short neck and a small, dark-colored stopper on top. The body of the bottle is decorated with intricate carvings of a dragon and other designs, including swirling patterns and geometric shapes. The carvings are raised and textured, giving the bottle a three-dimensional appearance. The bottle has a small lip around the edge and a decorative border around the body. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, with the bottle casting a shadow on the surface below it.
