A translucent, jade snuff bottle with a rectangular body and rounded corners features a short cylindrical neck. The creamy white material is mottled with deep reddish-brown and amber tones, particularly on the neck and side. Six incised characters in two vertical columns decorate the front face with thin, angular lines. The bottle stands on a small, recessed rectangular base.
