Atomizer bottle with a squat shaped glass base with gold tone mechanism topped by a knob of marbleized light blue. The base is fully beaded in peyote stitch over the glass with uniform size glass seed beads. The design pattern consists of zig-zag rings around the circumference in bands of dark blue and white opaque beads with accent areas of translucent red and amber seed beads. The beadwork is formed into a tight closure around the neck of the bottle at the base of the atomizer mechanism. The metal parts are gold tone, with a shallow concave circular knob of light blue molded glass or plastic applied to the top. A leather disk attached to the lowest row of beads covers the bottom of the glass bottle. The atomizer mechanism extends 4 cm from the top of the glass bottle[see Object Description text entry for extended description]
