Description

Burial urns were used between the late Three-Kingdoms Period (circa 57BC-668AD) and the Goryeo Period (918-1394). At the time of excavation, this urn (height: 16cm; mouth diameter: 15.3cm) was put in a rectangular granite outer casket. The object dates back to the Unified Silla Period (676-935). The body is filled with regularly placed dots and floral patterns. This one has been the most exquisitely made among the glazed burial urns adorned with regularly placed patterns found on the Korean Peninsula.
