Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a clear glass snuff bottle with a wide body and narrow neck. The body of the bottle is rounded and slightly flattened on the sides. There are two black relief designs on the bottle. One design depicts a mythical creature with a horse-like body and a tail, standing on its hind legs. The creature has a long snout and appears to be rearing up. Above the creature is another design that appears to be a stylized leaf or wing with curved lines. The background of the image is light gray. The number 967 is printed in white at the bottom of the bottle. Snuff Bottle by unknown artist.
