Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist is a black and white image of a small, smooth, shiny object. The object is a toad with a gradient color transitioning from dark on top to light on the bottom. The toad has a wide body and short legs. The top of the toad has bumps and holes. The toad's head is turned to the left. A number "712" is written on the side of the toad. A ruler is placed in front of the toad for scale. The background is a light surface with a label that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUS OF ART".
