About this object
The main bottle is an ovate flattened flask with a rosy color. This is covered with a bluish colored stone. It is carved on one side with a man riding a horse to the right. He is at the very bottom of the side. The rest of the side is carved with rounded flowers that frame the scene and cover the top. On the other side is a small animal that has its forepaws against a tree as if trying to climb it. The same rounded flowers and tree branches also frame the scene. The cover is rounded.
