Snuff Bottle (stopper)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stopper for a snuff bottle by the artist is made of pink material, likely stone or ceramic, with a rounded shape. The stopper has two dark metal bands around it. It is attached to a light-colored wood or bamboo applicator. The applicator is long and thin, tapering to a point at the end. The stopper and applicator are set against a gray background that darkens towards the top. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it.
