This small bottle was used to hold fragrant oil for the hair and body. Its upper body is decorated with peony and branch designs. White-slip inlay and black-slip inlay were applied to the flowers and leaves, respectively. Though these illustrated objects differ from the real ones, their size and arrangement are in harmony with the body of this work.
