Snuff bottle with stopper

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a snuff bottle with a stopper. The bottle is made of a marbled material, likely stone or jade. The body of the bottle is rounded and bulbous, with a narrower neck. The stopper is rounded and matches the material of the bottle. A metal band encircles the top of the bottle, just below the stopper. The background is light-colored and appears to be textured.
