China, Second half of the 19th century
Dimensions: 8.5 cm
Amber snuff bottle from the second half of the 19th century. The stopper is light green and has a smooth surface. The side of the bottle shows a typical Chinese landscape: a Taoist immortal walking under a tree looking at an old figure floating in a boat. The image is aesthetic, calm and harmonious. The symbolic meaning is that the immortal on the shore guards and helps the man in the boat, teaching him and showing him the way.
