A silver stopper for a scent bottle features a polished, hemispherical dome atop a wider circular rim. A short, cylindrical base extends downward from the underside. The metallic surface is highly reflective at the peak, while dark patches of tarnish settle in the joint where the dome meets the rim and around the base. The object is compact and symmetrical, exhibiting a smooth, metallic finish with visible signs of age.
