    This is an antique snuff / perfume bottle, with beautiful details and designs featuring lion's heads on each side with rings looped through the teeth. The cap is a dark green.

    The photos don't give justice to the beautiful emerald-green color. I have not been able to find markings or tested the metal. However, considering the patina and appearance of the metal I believe it is silver.

    I believe the body is green amber, though not at all sure.
    This piece traveled to Florida from Luang Prabang in Laos with my daughter.

      My daughter found it in Laos, she's kicking herself for not bringing home more treasures.
      She has a fabulous eye for amazing goodies.
