Snuff Bottle with Stopper

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle with Stopper by an unknown artist depicts an intricately carved snuff bottle. The bottle is yellow-brown with a darker brown design. The design features a dragon or a similar mythical creature on the left and a floral pattern on the right. The stopper is green and has a gold band around its base. The bottle is on a black stand with legs and a flat base. The background is a plain white-grey color, with a slight shadow cast by the bottle and stand. The bottle's shape is elongated and rounded, with a narrow neck. The overall appearance of the bottle suggests it is made of a material such as jade or stone.
