Pedestal dish

5th–6th century

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 233

This pedestal dish was used in daily life as well as in mortuary rituals. It is typical of stoneware produced in the Silla Kingdom and the Gaya Federation. Vessels like these have been excavated in large amounts, with and without their lids, from tomb sites along the Nakdong River, in southeast Korea, the area of the former territories of Silla and Gaya.
