Gong

KOREA; Goryeo dynasty (918–1392), dated 1073; Bronze; Diameter: 60 cm; National Museum of Korea, Seoul, South Korea
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.
