Gaedanri: Vessel

SOUTH KOREA, North Gyeongsang, Bonghwa; Goryeo dynasty (918–1392); Bronze; H: 32.2 cm; Daegu National Museum, South Korea
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.
