This petite treasure features detailed scene of Lohans—enlightened Buddhist disciples—rendered in high relief with expressive faces and dynamic gestures. The bottle’s rounded form is deeply carved on all sides, displaying a continuous landscape of figures and retains its original stopper. Measuring approximately 2 inches high, this miniature carving is both a devotional object and a testament to the skill of early 20th-century Chinese artisans. The warm golden tone of the walnut adds to its tactile and visual appeal. A wonderful addition for collectors of Chinese snuff bottles, Buddhist art, or miniature figural carvings.
