Horses are a popular subject on snuff bottles, reflecting both their esteem among the ruling Manchus and their role in auspicious visual puns. The motif of a horse tethered to a post suggests potential yet to be realised, the animal having been captured and trained, and thus conveys a wish for swift success, particularly for young examination candidates.
A related chalcedony agate snuff bottle, 1780-1850, was sold at Bonhams Paris, 13 June 2023, lot 113.
