The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a snuff bottle with a stopper. The bottle is made of dark-colored material, possibly stone or glass. The bottle has a rounded body and a short neck with a stopper on top. The stopper is rounded and made of a lighter-colored material than the bottle. There is a raised design on the side of the bottle featuring a bird perched on a branch or leafy growths. The background of the image is light gray. A white number "971" is printed on the lower right side of the bottle.
