EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Korean art from the 7th century. The gray terracotta brick, found in the Kingdom of Paekche (also known as Paikchei or Baekje), depicts a fearsome monster that is both intriguing and mythical. Housed in the National Museum of Korea, this artwork reflects the rich cultural heritage of Korea. The intricate carving on the brick reveals the mastery and skill of Korean artisans during this period. The monster portrayed on it is believed to be derived from legends and mythology, representing a significant character in ancient Korean folklore. Its detailed features and expressive design make it an exceptional example of sculpture from that era. The medium age appearance adds to its historical significance, transporting viewers back to a time when such artistry flourished. Made with terracotta material, this masterpiece stands as a testament to the craftsmanship prevalent during medieval times. As an Asian artifact, this artwork embodies elements unique to Korean culture while also reflecting broader influences from Asia. It serves as a reminder of how mythological creatures have played an integral role in shaping societies throughout history. Through this photograph by Josse, we are granted access to appreciate and admire this extraordinary work without any commercial intent but rather for educational purposes. This image invites us into the world of ancient Korea where myths come alive through artistic expression.
