Snuff bottle with lion
Green jade snuff bottle with a carved design of plants, a bird and a monkey sitting on top. The monkey is leaning over to look inside the bottle. A red stopper is visible inside the bottle's neck; the stopper resembles a fruit or a flower. The bottle sits on a dark wooden stand with three feet. The background fades from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
