A Chinese Banded Agate Snuff Bottle – A Chinese banded agate snuff bottle. The flattened ovoid body is crafted from banded agate, exhibiting prominent natural swirling patterns of opaque white, translucent brown, and yellowish-brown layers. The body features low-relief carvings on at least two sides, depicting stylized auspicious motifs or characters, which ingeniously utilize the natural color variations of the agate. It is topped with a domed stopper made of a polished, opaque red carnelian.
