Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist. The object is a dark-colored, glossy, narrow-necked bottle with a rounded body that tapers to a narrow base. The body of the bottle is adorned with raised carvings of foliage. The carvings are on the lower two-thirds of the body. The neck of the bottle is short and straight. The background of the image is light gray. The object casts a faint shadow on the surface below. The object appears to be made of dark-colored glass or stone. The image is in black and white.
