Gong
Bronze
Gong
KOREA; Goryeo dynasty
Three concentric circles comprise the surface of this gong. The inner circle has a raised boss containing lotus seeds surrounded by a lotus pattern. The second circle has no decoration apart from some circular lines. The outer circle is decorated with a cloud pattern. There are two cloud-shape rings on the top rim, from which the gong is suspended. Holes are located on the underside to produce greater resonance.
