Snuff container. Blood-and-clay (tandu) in form of an ox. The concave eyes are filled with black colouring, the concave nostrils with red ochre. A flush fitting gourd stopper in the opening, in the chest. The raised-pointed surface ornament covers only part of the surface, as if to suggest patches of colour.
