The jar is principally decorated with sea waves, the eight Buddhist symbols, lotus petals, and Sanskrit inscriptions – Dhamma Mandala in Esoteric Buddhism. Extremely rare amongst the blue-and-white porcelain wares of the Xuande reign, this jar is densely embedded with religious significance. It is considered commissioned by the Ming imperial court and fired at Jingdezhen kilns as an implement for Buddhist rituals.
