Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Dark green jade snuff bottle by artist Imperial, titled Snuff Bottle. The bottle features a rounded body with an irregular shape, resembling a gnarled piece of root. A pink stopper is at the top. The bottle sits on a short, ornate stand. A figure carved into the bottle appears to be sitting on a ledge with one leg crossed over the other, and one arm resting on its knee. The background is a plain gradient transitioning from light gray at the bottom to dark gray at the top.
