AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Description
A finely potted bowl with gently rounded sides rising to a neatly finished rim. The interior is vividly painted in rich, well-saturated underglaze blue with the classic subject of the Arhat Taming the Tiger — the monk seated serenely on a woven mat amid rocky outcrops and foliage, while a powerful tiger stands alert beside him, its stripes and musculature rendered with striking detail and expressive brushwork. The composition is framed by crisp double blue lines at the rim, the exterior decorated with further continuous landscape and foliate motifs in harmonious tone. A compelling and finely executed narrative piece.
