# Bowl

This pot, cover and stand were made within the Mughal empire, probably in the 18th century. Each component has been fashioned from a single piece of nephrite jade, which is a hard and durable material that requires patience and skill to work. They would almost certainly have been used within a courtly context.

- **Kind:** artefact
