A snuff bottle stopper rests horizontally. A smooth, pale-green dome is set within a dark, circular disk marked with red characters. A textured, reddish-brown neck transitions into a thin, silver-colored metal rod. The rod extends toward our right, its linear form arching slightly before flattening into a small, delicate spoon. The whole object is cast in soft light against a neutral, gradient background.
