Minature bottle with scene of the West Chamber
The image shows a black and white miniature bottle with a scene painted on it. The bottle is rounded with a wide body that tapers up to a narrow neck with a circular lid on top. The lid is white on top and on the inside edge and thin black line around the bottom edge. The bottle's body is black on the top and bottom with a white scene painted on it. The scene features two people; one on the left is older with a white face and white hair on the sides of the head, wearing a long-sleeved top with a circular neckline and loose pants. The person on the right is facing the other, younger with a white face and dark hair on top of the head, wearing a long-sleeved top with billowy pants or a long skirt, and a sash around the waist. The background of the scene depicts a bridge over water with a mountain behind it. The bottle's base is black.
