This beautifully decorated probably belongs in the Rama II period (1809-1824). Hanuman looks like he’s leaping in the air and is framed by red and green leafy swags on a blue background; a brown band with white lotus seeds around upper body and green bands with the same motif around the mouth and the lower body; a solid green band around the foot with traces of white glaze visible; a red ring on the rim. The interior is decorated with a red and green leaf design, a red-brown band with flower and dot pattern around the mouth.
