This traditional medicine container features a beautifully carved stopper, depicting a female figure with her arms raised, holding the underside of her breasts. She has a pair of glass beaded eyes, and her upward-tilting head has been subtly carved. Throughout, the surface of the figurative stopper exhibits a dark, shiny and worn patina.
