Tile decorated with birds and flowers
Sanggam decoration adorns this tile. Motifs are incised, inlaid with slip, then glazed and fired to create black-and-white imagery in a celadon blue-green ground. The surface contrasts sharply with the red-brown clay body, revealing the glaze’s ability to create color. Among the thinnest Goryeo-dynasty ceramics, few tiles remain intact; this one bears a vertical crack on the back.
