Snuff Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist features a green and purple stone vessel with a wide body and narrow neck. The body has a rounded shape and a flat base. A small protruding handle is on one side. The stone material exhibits a predominantly green hue with purple and brown patches. The surface displays natural striations and spots. The object appears to have a carved face on one side. The background is dark gray to black, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the lower left.
