Bronze
Gaedanri: Vessel
SOUTH KOREA, North Gyeongsang, Bonghwa; Goryeo dynasty
This vessel was excavated from Gaedanri in Bonghwa. It was used during Buddhist purification ceremonies.
The vessel has a narrow base, an ovoid body with broad shoulders, and a long slender neck, which curves outwards to form the rim. The stopper fits into the mouth and then extends upwards. The vessel is filled through a spout just below the shoulder.
In Korea, many ritual vessels of this type were made of ceramic as opposed to bronze, which was more commonly used elsewhere.
