Abstract

In water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Late Goryeo period, bottles, a symbol of Avalokieshvara, or bottles and saucer(承盤) are depicted together. Bottles as Avalokiteshvara’s symbol began to be seen early from India’s stone cave sculptures, and were found in the water-moon Avalokiteshvara painting in Tunhuang, an icon in the early period. In the water-moon Avalokiteshvara painting, a small bottle was depicted as placed on Avalokiteshvara’s palm or as held in Avalokiteshvara’s hand. And, the bottles in the two water-moon Avalokieshvara paintings, among others found in Khara Khoto (982~1227) and possessed by the State Hermitage Museum in Russia, which are assumed to be works in the 12th~13thcenturies, show relatedness with water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Late Goryeo period. In addition to this, the water-moon Avalokiteshvara painting in the second cave of 楡林窟 toward the 12th century and those on the left and right sides over the antechamber’s entrance of the 237th cave in Tunhuang also show deep relatedness with water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Late Goryeo period. In water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Late Goryeo period, most bottles are in the form of Kundika, have a spout on their body, and have a rim in the form of tube or distinguish between their neck and body with a rim attached on the upper part of its body without a spout. On the other hand, there are two water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings that have unique bottles with an egg-form or waterdrop-form body, a narrow neck, and externally bent bottle neck Most of these bottles shown in water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Late Goryeo period are depicted in green, but only one painting shows a white bottle, which reminds us of white porcelain. And, splendor is added to bottles with various patterns carved in golden line. Bottles in water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Late Goryeo period show realistic depiction, have great significance in the study of Goryeo’s bottles, and are an important motive for chronological research on water-moon Avalokiteshvara paintings in the Late Goryeo period. I would like to more profound work in future.
