The dark marking in the present lot is minimally carved to suggest a bird, possibly a small egret as indicated by the plumes on its nape. In Chinese art, the egret ( 鷺) serves as a visual pun for its homophone (祿), meaning an official's salary, making the bottle an especially auspicious gift for someone preparing to sit the Civil Examinations.
Compare with a shadow agate snuff bottle similarly carved with a single bird looking back, 1780-1880, which was sold at Christie's New York, 15 March 2017, lot 411.
