On offer is a small white metal Himalayan coin snuff bottle, decorated with turquoise and coral cabochons. The rounded body appears to incorporate old coin panels, surrounded by twisted wirework and applied metal decoration. It retains its chained stopper and integral snuff spoon.

The coin imagery and turquoise and coral decoration suggest a Tibetan or Nepalese origin. Comparable Himalayan snuff bottles were traditionally made in silver or white metal and frequently embellished with these colourful stones. The precise origin, metal and stones remain untested, so they have not been stated as confirmed.
