A silver scent bottle with a cylindrical body is entwined with winding vines, each featuring blossoms with radiating petals. Dark oxidation pools within the crevices of the floral relief, contrasting with the reflective, metallic body. Two arched handles bridge the neck and rounded shoulders. The neck is topped with horizontal screw threads, while a stepped, circular rim forms the base. The vessel stands centered against a neutral, gray backdrop.
