Did You Know?

This earthenware with two handles may have been used for cooking.

Description

The form of this early earthenware pot corresponds rather closely to the red earthenware vessel with horn-shaped handles (1997.186) nearby. The attractive, gritty fabric of the clay body, the sooty black firing marks as well as the folded and hand-crimped rim help clarify the evolution of this functional shape in early Korean ceramic history.
