This is a monk’s alms-bowl (bo). The Xuande reign saw the imperial family’s fervent belief in Buddhism, particularly the Tibetan Buddhism. At the time, a large number of Buddhist monks traveled to the capital to pay tribute to the emperor. This blue-and-white bowl is decorated with the design of dragon among clouds above sea on the exterior wall. It is a refined piece of work from the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen.
