Item Details
Description
East Asia, Korea, Silla Kingdom, ca. 5th to 6th century CE. A wonderful pottery jar known as a kobae, presenting a shallow bowl with a discoid foot, a hollow leg, a shallow bowl, and a lipped rim, all capped by a hemispherical cover. Enveloped in a rich black slip, the ancient vessel features a knob-like handle at the top of its lid, surrounded by 2 bands of incised dashes flanking several semicircular rings. The conical leg is adorned with 4 pairs of vertically stacked openwork rectangles, allowing one to place coals in its hollow interior for heating food in the top bowl. A raised circle encompasses the foot, while a trio of incised bands embellish the leg. Note how this charming vessel stands on a slight slant, granting it a fabulously unique silhouette! Size: 6.6" Diameter x 7" H (16.8 cm x 17.8 cm)

Cf. Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1997.34.7a, b, Brooklyn Museum, 40.519a-b, and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, AC1999.187.1.1-.2.
