Comments:Published PDF date : Ming 15th century Room 95 label text:PDF A425 ‘Monk’s cap’ ewer and cover with tianbai glazeThis vessel is incised with a Tibetan mantra around the body and with lotus flowers around the neck beneath a 甜白(tianbai ‘sweet-white’) glaze. Ewers of this shape are known as a 僧帽壺 (sengmao hu ‘monk’s cap ewer’) because the elongated spout and shaped rim resemble the stepped profile of the yellow hat of a Tibetan Lamaist monk. The Yongle emperor followed his father’s lead in restoring diplomatic relations and promoting trading missions with Tibet. He sent envoys to 江孜镇 (Gyanytse) in AD 1412–13 and employed Tibetan lamas to conduct Buddhist ceremonies for his deceased parents in the then capital Nanjing in AD 1407, 1413, 1414 and 1419.
