Carved Snuff Bottle (хөөрөг)

A hand-carved хөөрөг exchanged as a gesture of respect between guests.

The хөөрөг sits at the heart of Mongolian hospitality. Offered and received with both hands, the snuff bottle opens a meeting between guest and host before a word is spoken.

Carved from agate and capped with coral, a fine bottle is a small treasure carried close for a lifetime.

Placeholder copy. The image is a representative antique bottle; replace with a real хөөрөг.
