Snuff Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist. The bottle is made of brown material, likely a type of stone or resin, and has a rounded rectangular shape with a narrow neck. The bottle is carved with a design featuring a bird, possibly a crane, and flowers. The bird appears to be flying or in mid-flight. The cap is green with a thin gold band around its base. The background of the image is dark at the top and light at the bottom, with the bottle casting a shadow.
