Did You Know?

Closed kilns built on hillsides became widely used for producing this type of pottery vessel in Korea during the Three Kingdoms period.

Description

Early earthenware from the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE–668 CE) became widely utilized as agriculture and religion grew to be essential elements in sustaining society and its systems. The clay jars of different sizes and shapes on display were made for the following purposes: to store harvested grains and seeds, or, especially lidded ones such as this, to preserve cremated remains, and to serve offerings in rituals.
