Not on view

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.
