Spoon

Korea

Goryeo dynasty (918–1392)

Not on view

Bronze utensils are common burial objects. While they are similar in form, with narrow, pointed bowls and curved handles, the utensils on view here (22.141.20, .21, .22) were beaten from flat metal and not produced from molds, thus each is unique. Some of the spoons have a rounder, smaller bowl while others have been embellished with swallow-tail ends and incised designs.
