The double gourd carries more significance than an interesting shaped vegetable. It is a magical object, and it's ability to perform tasks is boundless. The gourd belonging to Zhang Guolao, one of the EIght Daoist Immortals, holds his mount. When Zhang shakes his gourd, his donkey would step out, taking him to his destination.
The snuff bottle is chalcedony, a type of agate. The multi-color is almost translucent in shades of brown, tan, with almost vertical bands of various shades of brown in various shades, gray and black. The base is round and recessed and a slightly concave top. It is matched with a light tan agate on a black disk.
The bottle is unique and not many like it were made. The shape is pleasant and nicely hollowed.
