15th Century Majaphit Holy Water Vessel, Shipwreck Salvage
About the Item
Earthenware holy water recipient from Java, Indonesia. The vessel is also known as “kendi”, and go back as far as the 13th-15th century, when some indigenous groups were still Christian. This period is referred to as the Majapahit Kingdom. They were used as pouring and drinking vessels (for serving water and wine, and even medicine), and had an important role in religious rituals (dispensing water as the symbol of purity).
They typically come with a round body, and a spout, but have no handles. This piece is in a matte white finish.
This piece was found at the bottom of the ocean and has some signs of sea life growth, as well as dust and dirt from its time on land.
