The bottle is shaped like an animal with the stopper in the mouth. It is made of brownish agate mottled in grey and brown. It is in the shape of a frog which sits on its four legs. It is carved to show the bumps and warts of the frog on its back, and its eyes and legs are summarily carved as well. It holds a fish shaped stopper in his mouth which is made in dark glass.
