This type of bottle or flask, which almost certainly developed from a metal proto-type, is often referred to as a 'pure water' or 'holy water' bottle, although it is more properly called a kamandalu, which is used to contain holy water. It is particularly associated with the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Guanyin). This bottle form relates to the kendi and the kundika, having the distinctive flange on the neck, but is differentiated from the kendi and kundika by having no spout on the shoulder.
