Snuff Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by Unknown Artist. The image shows two objects side-by-side. The object on the left is a small, rounded bottle with a short neck and no stopper. The bottle is made of a material that resembles stone or glass and has a mottled appearance with black lines and spots. The bottle's body is bulbous and roughly symmetrical. The surface is rough. The bottle casts a shadow on the surface below it. The background behind the bottle is dark at the top and gradually lightens towards the bottom. The object on the right is a small, cylindrical object with a wooden handle and a beige, fabric or fiber wrapped around one end. The handle is light-colored wood with a rounded end. The object is lying on its side. The background behind the object is similar to the background behind the bottle, with a dark top and lighter bottom.
