A kundika is a bottle used to hold holy water. According to Saddharmapundarika Sutra (The Lotus Sutra), it was originally one of the eight ritual objects carried by a Buddhist monk, although it gradually came to be used as a vessel for carrying holy water. The spout is decorated with a silver-inlaid Buddhist cross design, and there is an inscription wishing for longevity and the king’s enlightenment on the surface of the body. Trees and banana leaves near the water are also inlaid with silver.
