A glass snuff bottle with a flattened, rounded body narrows into a short cylindrical neck. Mottled patterns of dark green and reddish-brown swirl across a translucent gray surface, while a pale tan patch sits near the base on our left. Small, carved animal heads project in relief from the sides. The vessel features a smooth, polished finish, with a small dark spot visible within a circular tan area on the lower left.
