![Here we have an octagonal, pyramid-shaped perfume bottle. Made of dark blue molded glass, it is overall symmetrical in body and has an elegant gold accent underneath the matching octagonal pyramid stopper. Gently tapering upward, underneath the bottle's neck there is a straight geometric band sandwiching a rectangle motif, and the word 'Agnes' carved into the front. Sloping inward in one continuous piece, the neck transitions into a stout cylinder shape with a gold tie around it. Above that is a thin octongal layer, another small, cylindrical division for the continuing gold tie, and finally the bottle's stopper on top. The stopper is the same shape and has the same angled cuts as the pyramid body, just a smaller version.The neck's divisions seem to be for the gold tie's ornamentation and layered tying. The texture of string or even straw, the tie winds tightly around the first cylinder on the neck, and forms a v shape as it transitions into the second cylindrical division. At the end of the tie, along the main pyramid's body, the tie hangs loosely with a spade-shape gold logo. The logo is embossed with curtain ropes and sits underneath a simple wave and leaf design, framing the words [Alleluia d'Amour, Agnes, Paris]. Under the logo, the tie frays and unravels in a neat fan.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/325316_79a41b5a1189eb41_n.jpg "Object ID #907216363")
