The object is larger than the contemporary snuff bottle in the same design. It originated from Tibetan and Central Asian traditions, where such containers were used to hold powdered tobacco, medicinal herbs or aromatic substances. The ornate filigree work and inlaid coral and turquoise stones reflect the craftsmanship typical of Himalayan metalwork from the 19th to mid 20th century. These bottles were both functional and decorative, often worn as pendants or carried as personal accessories.
Please note that the bottle is made of silver but not sterling silver. The country of original is listed as unknown as Tibet, Nepal or Central Asia are listed.
