According to Bob Stevens, this pair of snuff bottles, formed from camel bone, could be considered as a man and a woman, but the dating of them remained undetermined, see ibid, p.215

壺呈人首形，一件寬面粗眉，神色祥和，其帽成山字形，載環形耳環，壺底刻「大清」二字。另一件面方流有鬍子，表情和善，頭載帽子，壺底刻「大清之年製」。
根據Bob Stevens的分析，此為駱駝骨，相信是一男一女，但對斷代未有界定。見出版，頁215。
