The image shows a black and white photograph of a snuff bottle with a stopper. The bottle is made of dark-colored material, likely a type of stone or glass, and has a rounded rectangular shape. The body of the bottle is rounded on the sides and flat on the bottom. A decorative design is carved into the front of the bottle, consisting of raised images of leaves, flowers, and a skull. The stopper is domed with a small knob on top. The number "975" is printed in white at the bottom of the bottle. The background of the image is light gray.
