EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Funerary stand with a round-bottomed jar, dating back to the early 5th century. Made from unglazed stoneware, this exquisite piece of Korean art measures 72.1x32.4 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The intricate craftsmanship and delicate design of this funerary stand reflect the artistic prowess of Korean artisans during the Three Kingdoms period (1st century BCE - 7th century CE). The absence of glaze on the stoneware adds an earthy charm to its appearance, highlighting its historical significance. With its rich history and cultural importance, this artifact offers a glimpse into ancient Korean burial practices and traditions. Its presence in such esteemed institutions like the Freer Gallery speaks volumes about its value as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical relic. It is worth noting that this particular piece has an intriguing provenance tied to World War II era, adding another layer of fascination to its story. As we admire this ceramic jar resting atop its funerary stand, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also acknowledge it as a testament to Korea's rich cultural heritage.
