Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist. The image shows a white, bulbous snuff bottle with a narrow neck and a stopper on top. A black band encircles the neck, just below the stopper. The body of the bottle features a large, black dragon design that wraps around it. The dragon has a long snout, sharp teeth, and a curved horn on its forehead. Its body is depicted in a dynamic pose, with scales and flames drawn in detail. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
