The duomuhu or "monk's cap" ewer is derived from a Tibetan prototype, beylep, often made of metal and used for storing milk tea in Lamist monasteries. The form came to the Chinese Imperial court with presentation gifts made by highly placed Tibetan monks during the reign of the Yongle emperor. Later vessels with the distinctive arched cresting were adopted by the Chinese and made at Jingdezhen.
