All i can say is that i bought it of Ebay from a guy in Colorado springs, he new nothing about it either.
18 Buddhas/monks are carved on what looks like bone but think it may be resin of some sort.
Plastic spoon and bottle top intact. It looks like it may of had a handle or chain attached as 2 gold metal fragments are showing on top of bottle ( can see in images 1 - 2 )
Would be great to know what markings mean on base and would be amazing if i got a bargain.
If anyone has any imfo on this snuff bottle it would be much appreciated.
I am so sorry. I have tried and tried but images will not go in correct angle.
Indeed it is fantastic. I would suggest posting it to a FB site like this helpful one and see what people know about it:

I love this bottle. Can't wait to see what you are told about it. I have 2 snuff bottles carved from either ivory or bone.
Sorry, can't see evidence it is carved... but lots of little "balls" in the hollow parts in pic2.
This is molded resin :-/
