A one of kind secret capsule/locket/container or snuff bottle made by Acorn shaped gourd 葫芦 with screw cap and agate beads
A tiny trinket with great craftmanship and age. Find it from a antique flea in Shanghai China. Possibly a part of a larger set used for medicine/snuff bottle like storage. The body is made by wooden gourd with a white screw cap and red agate like beads. Cap can be tightly sealed with no gap 严丝合缝. I made a slight modification by tie few knots to connect the cap and capsule body and adding few bead elements along with the string.
Size: 1.5 x 1 inch.
Possibly can be used as a pendent or key chain. One only.
