Earthenware in the shape of a duck(Busan Bokcheoncheon-dong Ancient Tombs No. 86)
-
- From the tombs in the eras of Ancient Gaya and Silla many items of earthenware in the shape of a duck or a bird have been excavated. On the back of the body is an opening looking like a cylinder connected to the tail side, through which opening you can pour a liquid and the likes. This earthenware matches well with Byeon Jin-Jo’s writing included in the SAMGUKJI WIJI DONGIJEON, which reads ‘The Gaya people not only wish that the deceased would fly in the sky but also have a belief that a bird would guide the soul of the deceased to the other world.’
