EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze cup with a dragon-head handle, created during the 13th-14th century by the Korean School. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this piece. Measuring at 4x12.3x9.3 cm, this small yet exquisite cup is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. It was generously gifted to the gallery by Charles Lang Freer, highlighting its significance and value. The cup's design reflects the artistic style of the Goryeo period (918-1392) in Korea, known for its exceptional metalwork. The casting technique used to create this masterpiece further emphasizes its artistry and skillful execution. The focal point of this cup is undoubtedly its dragon-head handle, which adds an element of mythical allure to the overall composition. The intricately carved details bring life to this legendary creature and showcase both technical mastery and imaginative creativity. As we admire this ancient artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insight into Korean history and culture during that era. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our enduring fascination with art across centuries.
