Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist. The object is a white snuff bottle with a rounded, flattened body and a short neck. The bottle has a pink stopper with a metal ring around the neck. The body features carved designs in orange, yellow, and green. The orange and yellow designs resemble a monkey or a dragon on the left and foliage on the right. The green design appears to be a leaf. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The bottle casts a subtle shadow on the surface below.
