EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Korean artistry from the late 5th century. The unglazed stoneware lamp, measuring 13.5x17.2x17.2 cm, is an exquisite example of the craftsmanship that thrived during the Silla Kingdom (57 BCE - 676 CE). Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution, USA, this ancient artifact offers a glimpse into Korea's rich cultural heritage. Its simple yet elegant design reflects the artistic sensibilities prevalent during the Three Kingdoms period (1st century BCE - 7th century CE). The lamp's unglazed surface adds to its allure and authenticity, showcasing its original form without any decorative embellishments or finishes. This raw aesthetic highlights the mastery of Korean potters who skillfully shaped and fired it. With its origins dating back centuries ago, this lamp also carries historical significance as it was discovered in a tomb believed to be from WWII era provenance. Its presence in such a burial site suggests that it held symbolic importance for those laid to rest. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless artwork through their photography expertise, allowing us to appreciate and admire this precious relic even from afar. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the ingenuity and artistry of ancient Korean civilization.
