Pagoda
KOREA; Goryeo dynasty
This eleven-tier pagoda is believed to have belonged to the Korean royal family during the Goryeo dynasty.
The Sumeru base has steps which lead to the first tier where figures stand in all four corners. The eaves on the first tier are supported by bracket sets, while the upturned corners take the form of a dragon’s head. The pagoda tapers towards the top, with balustrades, eaves, and ridge ornaments on each tier. The spire consists of an inverted bowl, an upright lotus, stacked rings, a water flame, pearl, and finial.
