Snuff bottle with stopper

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The snuff bottle by artist has a rounded body that is widest at the middle and tapers slightly towards the top and bottom. The body is made of a dark material with a smooth surface that has a reflective quality. A short neck extends from the body, and on top of the neck is a spherical stopper made of the same material. The material appears to have a mottled or textured appearance. The background is light-colored and the object casts a faint shadow to the left.
